About Medicare Joe ®
Medicare Joe was established to assist senior citizens with their Medicare insurance needs. Every day we are helping individuals across the United States, by educating them about their options as well as providing unique services and resources. We accomplish this through educating and comparing the Pro’s and Con’s of every option so that each client is always in the best position. We take pride in holding our client’s hand through the entire process of enrollment.
We are an independent agency, which means we are not loyal to any one insurance company. We believe in offering what is best for our clients, not the insurance company. Being independent allows us to bring the marketplace right to our client so they don’t have to call every insurance company on their own.
THE BEST PART IS OUR SERVICE IS 100% FREE TO YOU!
A Promise To Our Clients
Every individual has a different situation and it is our goal to match our clients needs with the policies best suited for them. Being licensed with the top carriers in every state allows us to provide an unbiased opinion to each individual senior. Each client receives personalized care and attention. This includes an “Annual Rate Review” to ensure that every year our clients are continuously in the most competitive rate and are never overpaying.
Who is Medicare Joe?
Joseph J. Pate, MBA
Joseph Pate is from a suburban town just outside of Providence, RI. He is the oldest of five siblings and this helped create a foundation for his leadership and work ethic. In 2013, Joseph decided to enter the corporate world. While juggling being a college athlete, student and adviser, Joseph was able to graduate at the top of his class and earned his MBA at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI.
Aside from his educational accomplishments, he became a trusted adviser for families and individuals under the age of 65. Joseph would work with self-employed individuals who needed health and life insurance as well as individuals that were in between jobs. Through his wealth of knowledge in the industry he provided value to his clients. However, Joseph found his true path and calling when he was asked to help a family member in need.
Joseph's grandparents at the time were looking for assistance with getting onto Medicare. Here after hours of learning the process himself, he was able to help them through their enrollment. Witnessing how difficult it was for his grandparents to understand Medicare, he figured there had to be more people just like them that were having difficulty. Joseph then set out on a mission to learn all the "ins and outs" of Medicare. With the demand of seniors needing assistance with their Medicare needs, Joseph felt that he could be an asset to the senior population, and he started Medicare Joe, LLC. Now, he and his team educate seniors daily on the process of signing up for Medicare, how to interpret the different options available when on Medicare and offer FREE "Annual Reviews" to all their clients to make sure they are always in the best position.

Upon graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation and Recreational Therapy in 2022, she immediately enrolled and completed a Master’s degree in Research Design and Analysis in 2023.
While accomplishing her degrees in education, she was also balancing her career by working with several different hospital & radiology departments.

Motivated by this observation, Keila set out for more continuing education and obtained her Health and Life Insurance license, which would allow her to assist people with their healthcare. Moved by the senior market, she felt that helping Medicare beneficiaries is where her time would be best suited. This is when she joined the Medicare Joe ® team.
