About Medicare in Las Vegas
Hi, I’m David Karel, Director of Medicare in Las Vegas.
I began my insurance career in Illinois in 1993 and moved from Chicagoland to Las Vegas more than 20 years ago to continue building my business and serving the local community. Since becoming a Nevada resident insurance producer in 2005, I have worked with individuals, families, employers, HR departments, and community organizations to help explain Medicare and health insurance options in a way that is practical and easy to understand.
Over the years, Las Vegas has become more than just the place where I do business — it is my home. I have been active in the local business community and involved with local chambers of commerce, which has helped me stay connected to the needs of Nevada residents, business owners, and employer groups.
My industry experience is important, but I also understand Medicare from a personal perspective because I am a Medicare beneficiary myself. That gives me a real-world view of the questions people ask, the confusion they may feel, and the importance of reviewing coverage carefully.
As Director of Medicare in Las Vegas, my goal is to be a trusted local Medicare resource for the community — not just during enrollment, but throughout the year when questions come up about coverage, plan changes, prescriptions, doctors, or how Medicare works in real life

"WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY... It will take you to "My Google My Business Review Page" |
David has been my Medicare plan advisor for 3 years. He has helped me find the best plan . My husband and I have different plans because our medical needs are different. He is objective and a true professional. I love that he considers my needs and is not trying to just sell me a particular plan. Thanks Dave for your integrity. You can't go wrong with Dave."

Frequently Asked Questions

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) helps cover costs that Original Medicare does not pay, such as copays and deductibles. The right choice depends on your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and lifestyle.
Most people enroll in Medicare when they turn 65. Your Initial Enrollment Period begins 3 months before your 65th birthday month and ends 3 months after. Missing this window may result in late enrollment penalties.
Nevada's Birthday Rule allows Medigap policyholders to switch to a plan with equal or lesser benefits during their birthday month each year, without answering health questions or going through medical underwriting.
Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover most prescription drugs. You need a Medicare Part D plan for prescription drug coverage, or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage (MAPD).
