Medicare Advantage
Part C plans that deliver your hospital and medical coverage, and usually your drugs, through one private plan with a yearly out-of-pocket limit.
Take the Stress Out of Medicare. Headwaters Health and Wealth is an independent agency in Brighton, Colorado. Lisa Asmussen helps Coloradans with Medicare, health insurance under 65, dental, vision and supplemental coverage, final expense and retirement planning. "I ask questions, listen to your answers, and only then recommend the type of policies that will fit your unique needs."
Advantage, Supplement and Part D, compared for your doctors and prescriptions.
Start here if you are turning 65, new to Medicare, or on a plan that changed for 2027. There are two routes. Medicare Advantage puts your hospital, medical and usually drug coverage in one private plan with a yearly out-of-pocket limit and a network. Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan lets you see any doctor who accepts Medicare, and you add a Part D plan for drugs. Lisa checks your doctors, your hospital and every prescription before comparing either route, and Annual Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7, 2026.

Colorado marketplace plans and tax credits, pre-65 coverage and short-term medical.
Start here if you are under 65 and buy your own coverage: self-employed, between jobs, retiring early or covering a family. Colorado runs its own marketplace, where tax credits are based on household income, and Open Enrollment for 2027 coverage runs November 1, 2026 to January 15, 2027. Early retirees should read the pre-65 page first, anyone with a short gap should read the short-term medical page before buying anything.
Affordable Care Act plans through the Colorado marketplace for people under 65 who buy their own coverage, with tax credits, networks and drugs checked.
Health coverage for early retirees and anyone between a job plan and Medicare, planned around income, tax credits and your 65th birthday.
What short-term medical insurance is, why it is hard to find in Colorado, and the better ways to cover a gap between jobs or until Open Enrollment.
Dental, vision, critical illness, hospital indemnity, cancer, short-term care and travel cover for the gaps.
Start here once your main coverage is settled and you want help with what it leaves out. Dental and vision cover routine care Original Medicare does not. Critical illness, cancer and hospital indemnity policies pay cash to you, which suits a plan with daily hospital copays or a high out-of-pocket maximum. Short-term care covers a recovery at home or in a facility, and travel cover fills the gap Medicare leaves abroad. Lisa reads your own plan first so a policy is sized to a real cost, not added on top of one you already have covered.
Stand-alone dental plans for people on Medicare and families under 65, compared on waiting periods, annual maximums and your dentist.
Coverage for eye exams, glasses, contacts and hearing aids, the routine care Original Medicare leaves out, compared with what your plan already includes.
A lump sum paid to you if you are diagnosed with a covered illness such as a heart attack, stroke or cancer, to use however you need.
Cash paid to you for each day in the hospital, to help with copays, deductibles and the bills that keep coming while you recover.
A policy that pays cash benefits after a cancer diagnosis and during treatment, to help with the costs your health plan leaves behind.
Coverage for care at home or in a facility for up to about a year, after an injury, surgery or illness, with simpler approval than long-term care insurance.
Travel medical and trip protection for trips abroad, especially for people on Medicare, whose coverage mostly stops at the border.
Burial and final expense cover so your family is not left with the bill.
Start here if you want a small permanent policy that pays for a funeral, burial or cremation and final bills, so your family is not left with them. The main choice is simplified issue, with a few health questions, against guaranteed issue, with none but a waiting period. Lisa explains which you are likely to qualify for before you apply.
Small whole life policies that pay a funeral, burial or cremation and final bills, so your family is not left with the cost.
A no-cost retirement planning review and annuities for income you cannot outlive.
Start here if retirement is a few years away or you have just retired. The no-cost retirement planning review puts health coverage before 65, your Medicare dates, Social Security timing and income protection on one timeline. Annuities are discussed only after that review, when part of your savings should become guaranteed growth or income, with every surrender charge shown in dollars first.
A no-cost retirement planning review that puts health coverage, Medicare, Social Security timing and income protection on one page.
Fixed and fixed indexed annuities for guaranteed growth or lifetime income, explained in plain English with every surrender charge on the table.
There is no fee to talk with Lisa. Insurance companies pay agents a commission that is built into the price of a plan, so a plan costs the same whether you enroll on your own or with her help.
The office is at 992 South Fourth Avenue in Brighton, Colorado, in Adams County. Lisa works with people across Brighton, Commerce City, Thornton, Henderson, Fort Lupton and the rest of the northeast Denver metro, the wider Front Range and Colorado statewide, in person, by phone or virtually.
Yes. Many people start with Medicare or health insurance and later add dental, vision, hospital indemnity, final expense or a retirement planning review. Looking at everything together helps avoid gaps and paying twice for the same protection.
