“The IRMAA Solutions certification program was not only an eye opener but a game changer. The unknown things in life are what cause the most pain, IRMAA is one of those hidden pains. The TRUE cost of the IRMAA surcharge plus medical expenses are unknown by most advisors and dismissed by others is concerning.”

Mark ClarkPrestige Planning - Managing Partner CFP CKA

“The Certified IRMAA program will separate you from other advisors by giving you the practice management knowledge of Medicare and its costs to my clientele. The topic of IRMAA has opened my eyes on how the majority of Pre Retirees/Retirees in America know very little to nothing about the risk. Would highly recommend every advisor take this course.”

John McEachranLifeMark Securities - Registered Representative

It is the best money I have ever spent in my business career!!!”
