Karla Navas

Licensed Insurance Agent

I was born and raised in a small farm town in Kansas, but now call Tulsa my home. I finished my degree at ORU in business and philanthropy in 2014 and went to work for a local financial firm in Tulsa soon after. During that time I met my now husband, David, and we have settled in Tulsa with our Golden Doodle, Oakley. We spend much of our time exploring the city and enjoying the outdoors. Shortly after gaining experience in the finance industry my desire to help others grew to the point where I decided to transition into becoming an expert myself.

As an independent agent, I specialize in Medicare and seek to make it simple, stress free and easy for everyone eligible. My goal is to be a trustworthy source and provide answers to your questions. I am certified with many top Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Prescription Drug insurance plan carriers and represent most major companies and am qualified to answer any questions you may have at no cost.

Melissa Hanes

Independent Insurance Broker

I was born in Oklahoma and raised in Neosho, MO. My husband (Derek) and I have 6 children and 6 sweet grandchildren who we adore. It wasn’t until 2009 when I moved back to Oklahoma that I started my insurance career and developed a passion for educating seniors on their rights and options regarding Medicare. Over the last decade I’ve been helping this under served population by empowering them to make the best insurance decisions for their individual healthcare needs.

In 2019 I resigned my position as Sales Manager for one of the nation’s largest Medicare insurance carriers to join the amazing team at OKMedicareHelp. I provided support, training and mentorship to hundreds of independent insurance agents around the state of Oklahoma and gave them the tools they needed to make the right impact for Medicare beneficiaries. The experience I gained in my previous role gave me a unique look at how to help navigate the complexities of Medicare for both Medicare beneficiaries and agents alike.

I pride myself on operating with the highest integrity and having a heart to serve our local senior community. I would be honored to help you navigate the complexities of Medicare and be of service for all your insurance needs.

Seth Ackerson

Licensed Insurance Agent

I was born in Maryland but moved back to my parents' hometown of Neosho, Mo 30 years ago. I currently reside in Webb City, Mo with my daughter Amelia and enjoy spending time with her.

Medicare is often overwhelming and confusing time for people just getting started and it is a goal of mine to help simplify the process by educating about Medicare so my client can make an informed choice about their coverage. Together we can talk about your specific goals for your coverage and select coverage that is suited for your budget and circumstance. As an independent agent, I represent several of the top insurance companies and can help explain the in's and out's with the different companies.

My passion to serve my community about this important decision doesn't just stop after the sale. I'm available year-round to help answer questions and to be your guide throughout your life on Medicare.
