A third-generation insurance agency is transforming how seniors navigate Medicare decisions through personalized consultations and community-focused education programs across Ohio, Texas, and Florida.
Advantage Med Sup, founded in 2016 by Gina Giambri, has grown from a single-state operation to serving thousands of Medicare beneficiaries across three states while maintaining its family-centered approach to client service.
The agency’s expansion comes at a critical time when Medicare enrollment continues to surge nationwide, with approximately 10,000 Americans becoming eligible for Medicare daily. This demographic shift has created an increased demand for personalized guidance through the complex Medicare landscape.
Building on a foundation established by her mother, Doris “Jeanie” Giambri, who brought over 40 years of finance and insurance experience to the venture, Gina Giambri launched the formal agency structure after years of conducting Medicare education events together starting in 2010. The mother-daughter team recognized a gap in the market for truly personalized Medicare guidance that went beyond call center interactions.
The Medicare planning specialists distinguish themselves through their multi-generational team approach, with third-generation agent Angelina Giambri now serving clients in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood markets. This continuity allows the agency to maintain long-term relationships with clients, providing consistent support through annual enrollment periods and plan changes.
The agency’s growth has been recognized through multiple industry awards, including the Front Runner Award from Aetna and Agent of the Year designation from the Medicare Resource Center. Gina Giambri, who holds the Certified Medicare Insurance Planner (CMIP) credential, has also been featured on FOX Good Day Columbus, bringing Medicare education to a broader audience. Nicolete Giambri serves the Plano area while also contributing to Women Empowering Women for the Next Generation Ministries®.
What sets the agency apart is its diverse team of specialists, each bringing unique expertise to serve specific community needs. Dr. Azure Miller, a Doctor of Pharmacy based in Gahanna, Ohio, provides crucial medication management insights for Medicare planning. Juhyun Lee serves Ohio’s Korean-speaking community, breaking down language barriers that often complicate healthcare decisions.
The agency’s commitment to accessibility extends beyond language services. Nica Langdon, a former top-performing UnitedHealthcare call center agent, now provides personalized service including home visits by request in the Columbus area. Linda Bee, a Certified Medicare Insurance Specialist (CMIS), focuses on helping clients in the Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan market maximize their available benefits.
Community engagement remains central to the agency’s mission. In Texas, Peggy Ruxton, a former educator turned licensed agent, hosts bingo nights at the Mansfield Activities Center while providing Medicare education. In Florida, educational events take place at community centers including the Fred Lippman Multi-Purpose Center and the Armory Community Center in Hollywood.
The family-run Medicare agency offers multiple consultation formats to meet diverse client preferences, including in-person meetings, online consultations, and phone appointments. This flexibility has become increasingly important as Medicare beneficiaries seek personalized guidance while balancing health concerns and busy schedules.
Michael Gemperline, based in Powell, Ohio, specializes in the Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan market, addressing the complex needs of individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. This specialized focus reflects the agency’s commitment to serving all segments of the Medicare population, including those with the most complex coverage needs.
The agency’s approach emphasizes year-round support rather than just annual enrollment period assistance. This ongoing relationship model helps clients navigate plan changes, prescription updates, and evolving healthcare needs throughout the year.
As Medicare continues to evolve with new plan options and regulations, the demand for personalized, local expertise grows. The agency’s expansion across three states while maintaining its family-run values and community focus demonstrates a sustainable model for Medicare guidance in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
With team members strategically located across Ohio, Texas, and Florida communities, the agency continues to expand its reach while maintaining the personal touch that has defined its service since 2007. This geographic diversity allows them to understand and address the unique Medicare landscape in each state while sharing best practices across their network.
The multi-generational structure of the agency provides both institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives on Medicare planning, ensuring clients receive comprehensive guidance that considers both traditional approaches and innovative solutions to coverage challenges.
