About CHCA
Mission
Certified HealthCare Advisors' (CHCA) mission is to elevate the integrity and professionalism of Medicare guidance by setting a new standard for excellence.
Through advanced certification, evidence-based education, and ongoing professional development, we empower agents to serve with expertise, transparency, and ethical responsibility. We are dedicated to ensuring every Medicare beneficiary receives clear, personalized, and trustworthy support when making critical healthcare decisions.
As a Certified HealthCare Advisor™, professionals learn to specialize in simplifying the complexities of healthcare planning for individuals and families. With a deep understanding of Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Care Act (ACA), Social Security, long-term care, and employer-sponsored health plans, advisors provide personalized guidance that helps clients navigate their healthcare options with confidence and clarity.
Our advisors are committed to delivering unbiased, ethical advice grounded in up-to-date knowledge and tailored solutions. Our goal is to empower clients to make informed decisions that safeguard their health and financial security throughout life’s transitions.
