Part C Launches New Medicare Brokerage with Strategic Partnerships Approach
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - March 4, 2025) - Part C, a national health insurance brokerage specializing in Medicare and individual health insurance, announces its official launch with an innovative partnership model. The company differentiates itself from traditional Medicare agents who set up enrollment booths during open enrollment periods. Instead, Part C has developed strategic alliances with financial advisory firms, insurance brokerages, and pharmacies to provide Medicare expertise where beneficiaries already have established relationships.
"Most Medicare agents are essentially setting up booths and hoping people walk by during enrollment periods," said Ryan George, Vice President of Part C. "We've taken a completely different approach by partnering with trusted advisors and service providers who already have relationships with the Medicare- eligible population. This allows us to be a valuable resource for both the partners and their clients."
The company has secured partnerships with multiple financial advisory firms, assisted/senior living centers, as well as other insurance firms who don't provide health insurance advice. Even having partnership conversations with some of the largest publicly traded grocery store chains in America, to help serve their pharmacy customers. These strategic relationships create a unique distribution channel that serves Medicare beneficiaries across all economic backgrounds.
"When we partner with these organizations, we're just a value-add for their clients," explained Ryan. "There aren't a lot of people that specialize solely in Medicare, let alone people that have large agencies or financial firms who even know somebody that truly specializes in this area."
Part C's approach is particularly effective because Medicare is federally regulated, meaning brokers receive the same commission regardless of which plan a client chooses. This regulation creates an environment where education and client needs can truly come first.
"In my former world of estate planning, we'd be at conference tables, and if clients didn't do what we proposed, I didn't get paid," Ryan noted. "Now, with everything being federally regulated, we get paid the same commission no matter how much or little the client is paying in premium. All we're there to do is educate and guide, which makes our meetings feel less like a sale and more like a seminar."
The company specializes in breaking down complex Medicare options into digestible information, a skill Ryan developed during his previous career in estate planning and financial advising.
"When you're 24 sitting in on meetings with business owners worth nine figures about what they should be doing financially, you learn quickly how to take complex information and break it down," said George. "That's invaluable for what we do today with Medicare, which happens to be the most complex part of the health insurance market."
The Medicare space has become an increasingly attractive target for private equity investment, positioning Part C for potential growth as it continues to expand its partnership network.

She Created SweetBio, a Memphis Biotech Company That's Changing the Game
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit After a successful launch in 2024, Memphis-based biotech company SweetBio is reshaping the future of healing with a focus on ethics, accessibility, and inclusivity. We talked to the entrepreneur behind SweetBio about her journey, sources of inspiration, and what she loves most about the 901. Get to know this dynamic FACE of Memphis! Pin Tell us about the path that led to creating SweetBio. It's a fascinating one! I was inspired by my grandmother, a bridal business entrepreneur who brought joy to many. From a young age, I knew I wanted to bring care and joy to others, too. During college, I interned at Target … When I was offered a full-time role on the merchandising team, I realized I was really studying what it takes to achieve both high performance and a healthy culture at scale. I started in big data and intentionally built the tools I knew I'd need as an entrepreneur: analytics, strategy, and systems. I left to pursue my MBA full-time, then joined Target's Innovation Office in San Francisco. I moved there with the vision of starting a company, initially thinking it would be in the digital space. At the same time, I was talking with my brother Isaac, who had been developing a unique biomedical technology for years. When he showed me what he had built — a collagen and Manuka honey solution to wound care — we realized it had the potential to truly help people. We had a choice between joining an accelerator in San Francisco or moving to Memphis, one of the top cities for medical device innovation. Since neither of us came from a medical background, we knew we needed to learn as fast as possible and surround ourselves with the right experts. Memphis offered that, along with the space to build both a company and a life. Pin What's the SweetBio elevator pitch? SweetBio is a biotech company revolutionizing wound care with innovative, affordable products powered by certified Mānuka honey and collagen. With FDA clearance, Medicare and commercial insurance coverage, and $10M in funding, SweetBio recently launched VERIS™, an advanced wound-care solution for patients recovering from Mohs surgery, biopsies, and chronic ulcers. SweetBio also offers APIS®, which is a prescription product proven to support healing in chronic and acute wounds, including diabetic ulcers. Pin What inspired you to launch a biotech company with ethics at its core? Our great-grandfather in Puerto Rico had to undergo an amputation simply because he couldn't afford the wound care he needed, and he passed away from the diabetic wound. Sadly, that kind of inequity is still far too common. We launched SweetBio to change that. To make advanced healing accessible, affordable, and centered on human dignity. Ethics aren't an add-on for us; they're the foundation. Biotech has long been a male-dominated field. What has been your experience navigating leadership in this industry? Ten years ago, biotech and entrepreneurship were even more male-dominated than they are now. As a Latina woman without a healthcare background, I wasn't exactly the typical founder profile. I faced skepticism early on, so I made it my mission to get as smart as I could, as fast as I could. I asked questions, read constantly, and surrounded myself with trusted advisors across science, regulation, and reimbursement. Now, we're respected for our track record and results, but that came from relentless preparation and resilience. Pin Are there any values or perspectives from your upbringing that have influenced how you lead your business? Absolutely. One of our core values is positive intent, which comes directly from family. You can disagree, but if you're aligned on a shared vision, you can move forward together. We also embrace our humanity, where making mistakes is fully and 100% accepted. We prioritize mental health. We put family first. We operate from our values, which are the strength behind how we build. Switching gears a little, what do you love most about Memphis? I love that Memphis offers the best of both worlds. You can be in the city or outdoors in places like Shelby Farms, where I serve on the board. It's a space where people from every walk of life come together, and that sense of inclusion and community is something I value deeply. For my family, it's the diversity in Memphis. Our kids grow up dancing, playing sports, and connecting with all kinds of people. And professionally, Memphis gave us the space to build the type of company we believe in. Grit and grind run deep here, and it's a place that rewards that entrepreneurial spirit. Pin What's something that people are often surprised to learn about you? I thrive in chaos … and I have a black belt in taekwondo! What is your best piece of advice? One of the biggest lessons I've learned building this company is the power of decision-making. The best decision is the right one, the next best is the wrong one, but the worst thing is indecision. When you're stuck between two paths, just pick one and move forward. Practicing decision-making builds confidence, clarity, and momentum. Whereas indecision stalls life, movement creates growth! Aside from faith, family, and friends, name three things you can't live without. Saturday Night Live, macaroons, and walks outside. ********** For more inspiring FACES of Memphis, click HERE!

U.S. hospitals no longer required to perform emergency abortions
The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would revoke guidance to the nation's hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions for women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition. That guidance was issued to hospitals in 2022, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court upended national abortion rights in the U.S. It was an effort by the Biden administration to preserve abortion access for extreme cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies and needed an abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications. The Biden administration had argued that hospitals — including ones in states with near-total bans — needed to provide emergency abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That law requires emergency rooms that receive Medicare dollars to provide an exam and stabilizing treatment for all patients. Nearly all emergency rooms in the U.S. rely on Medicare funds. Story continues below advertisement The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would no longer enforce that policy. The move prompted concerns from some doctors and abortion rights advocates that women will not get emergency abortions in states with strict bans. 1:12 Carney says he supports a woman's right to choose abortion 'The Trump Administration would rather women die in emergency rooms than receive life-saving abortions,' Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. 'In pulling back guidance, this administration is feeding the fear and confusion that already exists at hospitals in every state where abortion is banned. Hospitals need more guidance, not less, to stop them from turning away patients experiencing pregnancy crises.'

Sign up for weekly health newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Anti-abortion advocates, meanwhile, praised the announcement. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said in a statement that the Biden-era policy had been a way to expand abortion access in states where it was banned. Story continues below advertisement 'Democrats have created confusion on this fact to justify their extremely unpopular agenda for all-trimester abortion,' she said. 'In situations where every minute counts, their lies lead to delayed care and put women in needless, unacceptable danger.' An Associated Press investigation last year found that, even with the Biden administration's guidance, dozens of pregnant women were being turned away from emergency rooms, including some who needed emergency abortions. 2:05 Health Matters: Abortion rights advocates win in 7 states The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which provides oversight of hospitals, said in a statement that it will continue to enforce the federal law that, 'including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy.' But CMS added that it would also 'rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration's actions.' Story continues below advertisement The Biden administration sued Idaho over its abortion law that initially only allowed abortions to save the life of the mother. The federal government had argued before the U.S. Supreme Court last year that Idaho's law was in conflict with the federal law, which requires stabilizing treatment that prevents a patient's condition from worsening. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a procedural ruling in the case last year that left key questions unanswered about whether doctors in abortion-ban states can terminate pregnancies when a woman is at risk of serious infection, organ loss or hemorrhage.
