#1 Texas Local Medicare Agent Doubling Client Base Amid 2026 Medicare Part D Disruptions

(Isstories Editorial):- Houston, Texas Oct 24, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – As the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) unfolds, Rodney POWELL, a #1 Texas Top Rated Local Medicare Agent on Medicare Agents Hub, announced a significant milestone: doubling his client base across Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and beyond.  Known widely as the “Medicare Video Guy,” Powell’s expansion comes as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 disrupts Medicare Part D, driving higher premiums, increased deductibles, and shifting drug formularies — challenges fueling searches for “Medicare drug costs 2026,” “Medicare premiums increase,” and “best Medicare supplements.”

The Inflation Reduction Act mandated full coverage of out-of-pocket drug costs after $2,100 in 2026, reshaping Medicare Part D and Advantage plans.  Seniors face stricter prior authorizations, step therapy, reduced ancillary benefits, such as dental coverage, and carrier exits from unprofitable markets.  Amid these changes, some insurers have cut agent commissions for Part D plans, pushing self-enrollment through Medicare.gov or direct carrier channels.  Powell believes this is anti-competitive, arguing it limits seniors’ access to expert guidance.

“Carriers are sidelining agents at the very time that seniors need our help more than ever,” said POWELL.  “As a trusted Medicare agent, my ethical duty is to navigate these complexities — whether it’s prescription drug coverage, provider access, or affordability — without barriers.” Unlike some other agents avoiding Part D assistance due to unpaid liability, Powell prioritizes client needs, fostering trust that drives referrals and growth.
