About this listen

Confused about Medicare, Medicaid, and all the alphabet soup in between? You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why Dennis Settlemoir and Stephanie Lencioni are here to break it all down.


In this episode of Insurance Gone Wild, Dennis and Stephanie cut through the jargon and dive into what really separates Medicare from Medicaid. With their signature humor and honest takes, they’ll help you understand who qualifies, what the different “parts” cover (A, B, C, D…yes, it’s a lot), and why timing your enrollment matters more than you might think.


Whether you’re approaching open enrollment, helping a parent make sense of their options, or just trying to figure out how the government managed to make health insurance even more confusing, this episode has you covered.
