      "I cannot recommend Lara highly enough. She's very knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with. She set my mind at ease from the moment I first spoke with her and her experience working with Medicare and insurance in general has been invaluable to me. I even said to her that I wish I had a Lara to turn to in other areas of my life because she made this process so much easier. She is such a positive and helpful person!"

      "Lara does all the legwork so you know what changes are in store for the upcoming year. And its not easy to keep track of. My first year of Medicare, I was nervous about the process and Lara called me back from her vacation (on a catamaran‼️) to walk me through it. I've sent friends and family to Lara and we've been so pleased thru the years. You won't find anyone better. 🤩"

      "Lara Goulson at Goulson Insurance Services was terrific. Not only did she help me find my supplemental insurance but she helped me with my Medicare. I had so many problems with the Medicare enrollment and Lara not only guided me through the Medicare process but she always checked in with me to see how it was progressing. She was always available to help me and answer any questions I had during that difficult period. Highly recommended!"

    A family agency with a second home in the Valley

    Goulson Insurance started across the hill in Century City, where patient, plain language guidance earned the agency a 5.0 rating across 139 Google reviews. The Valley Village office brings that same standard to the San Fernando Valley, so families in Valley Village, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Van Nuys, Panorama City, Encino, and Burbank can get answers from a person who actually picks up the phone. Jordan Goulson leads this office, and every conversation happens in English, Spanish, or Hebrew, whichever fits your family.

    Medicare, life, and long term care, looked at together

    Most families come to us with one question and discover the answers are connected. The Medicare plan you pick shapes what you spend out of pocket, long term care planning works best while you are healthy enough to qualify, and life insurance costs least when you need it least. From the Valley Village office we handle all three, along with health, dental, disability, and travel coverage, so your decisions get made in one place by someone who knows your whole picture. The help costs nothing, and if what you already have is right, we say so.

    Medicare Advantage in the Valley by the numbers, 2027

    Valley Village sits in Los Angeles County, one of the biggest Medicare Advantage markets in the country. In 2027 the county has 70 Medicare Advantage plans open to general enrollment plus 54 Special Needs Plans, per the CMS 2027 Landscape file, and 60 of those 70 plans charge a $0 monthly plan premium. About 57 percent of the county's 1.7 million Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plans (CMS, May 2026), above the 55 percent national share (KFF, 2026). Our analysis of the same CMS file puts the average in network out of pocket maximum across the county's general enrollment plans at $2,232, with a median of $1,500 and a range from $199 all the way to $9,850. That spread is the whole argument for comparing before you enroll: two $0 premium plans can differ by thousands of dollars in a bad year. Jordan runs that comparison for Valley Village families at no cost: (818) 731-5417.

    What We Help With

    From this office we help with Medicare, life insurance, and long term care, along with health, dental, disability, and travel coverage.

    Valley Village Questions

    Nothing. Our help is free, always. Licensed agents are paid by the insurance companies whose plans they represent, and your premium is identical whether you enroll through Jordan, online, or directly with the carrier. What you get is one person who compares plans from multiple companies, checks your doctors and prescriptions against each one, and answers the phone after you enroll, not just before. If staying on your current plan is the right call, that is exactly what you will hear. Call (818) 731-5417 with any question, no obligation.

    No. Most clients handle everything by phone or video, from the first question to enrollment, and Jordan also meets clients in person around the Valley when that is easier. The office on Magnolia Boulevard is there if you want it, but nothing about working with us requires a drive. Paperwork can be handled electronically, comparisons are shared on screen or mailed, and family members can join any call from anywhere. Start with a call to (818) 731-5417 or the form on this page, and everything works around your schedule from there.

    All of it. From this office we work with families in Valley Village, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Van Nuys, Panorama City, Encino, Burbank, and the wider San Fernando Valley. By phone and video we also serve clients anywhere in California and in all 11 states where Lara Goulson is licensed: California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, and New York. If a parent lives out of state, one call can usually cover the whole family.

    Yes, directly, with no interpreter. Appointments happen natively in Spanish and Hebrew as well as English, which matters because Medicare paperwork, call centers, and websites default to English at exactly the moment the details matter most. Every term gets explained in your parents' own language: what Parts A and B cover, how Medicare Advantage differs from a Supplement, and what each plan would really cost through the year. Family members are always welcome to join the conversation. Have them call (818) 731-5417 and they will be understood from the first hello.

    October 15 to December 7 every year, with changes taking effect January 1. That is the window to switch Medicare Advantage plans, change Part D drug coverage, or move between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare. Valley families who book a review early finish their comparison before the phone calls and mailers start. Call (818) 731-5417.

    Medicare Advantage bundles your coverage into one plan with a network and copays, often with extras like dental and vision. A Supplement works alongside Original Medicare, usually costs more monthly, and lets you see any doctor in the country that accepts Medicare. Neither is universally better; the right answer depends on your doctors, medications, budget, and travel. Jordan compares both roads side by side at no cost: (818) 731-5417.

    About three months before your birthday month. Your Initial Enrollment Period runs seven months: the three months before your birthday month, your birthday month, and the three months after. Starting early protects you from late enrollment penalties and leaves time to compare without pressure. One call to (818) 731-5417 maps your exact dates.

    No. Jordan is an independent agent representing multiple carriers rather than working for any single one, so his advice is not tied to one company's products. If what you already have is the right fit, that is what you will hear. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent 14 organizations which offer 93 products in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.
