Mark Lyne, licensed life and health insurance agent based in Austin, Texas.
Mark Lyne is a founding partner of Simple Retirement Benefits Medicare and Health Insurance Advisors and the licensed life and health insurance agent clients work with directly. Based in Austin, Texas, Mark built the practice around one idea: Medicare and health coverage decisions are easier when someone explains the options in plain English and lets you decide at your own pace.
Licensed in 18 states
Mark has been a licensed Texas insurance agent since 2005, holding property and casualty as well as life and health licenses for more than 20 years. Today his practice focuses on life and health coverage. He holds a Texas resident license and non-resident licenses in 17 more states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. Every conversation is with a licensed agent, not a call center.
Independent, with no broker fee
Simple Retirement Benefits is an independent brokerage. Mark is not tied to any single insurance carrier, so plan comparisons draw from the carriers he is licensed, appointed, and authorized to offer in your state. There is never a broker fee to the client: agents are paid by the insurance carriers, and your premium is the same whether you enroll through an agent or on your own.
How Mark works
Mark is based at 8711 Burnet Rd STE E50 in Austin and meets clients in person across Central Texas, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Pflugerville. Clients in the other 17 licensed states work with Mark by phone, with documents reviewed together over email or screen share. Whether you are turning 65, retiring past 65, or looking at coverage before Medicare, the process starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch.
What we can and cannot do
Simple Retirement Benefits is not connected with or endorsed by the United States government or the federal Medicare program. We do not offer every plan available in every area, and any information we provide is limited to the plans and products we are licensed, appointed, and authorized to offer. For information on all of your options, contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program.
How a first call works
A first call usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. Mark asks about your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and timing, answers your questions, and explains which enrollment windows apply to you. There is no obligation and nothing to sign. If a plan comparison makes sense, he prepares one for your ZIP code and walks through it with you on a follow-up call.
