Darin Weidauer is an independent Medicare insurance agent, credentialed gerontologist, and Registered Social Security Analyst® who helps Utah retirees and people approaching 65 make sense of their Medicare options — clearly, patiently, and with no cost to them.
Background
A 22-year U.S. Air Force veteran who retired as an officer, Darin holds five master’s degrees, including an MBA and a Master’s in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Long-Term Care from the University of Southern California’s Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, where he became a credentialed gerontologist in 2014 — studying the human side of aging, not just the paperwork.
A former Professor of Aerospace Studies at Loyola Marymount University who has lectured at more than 50 colleges and universities, Darin now channels that teaching instinct into plain-English Medicare education: one-on-one reviews, no-cost community workshops, the free 295-page guide Retire With Confidence, and the pages on this site, every one of which he wrote or reviewed. He is also the founder of MyECOS360, an agency operating system for independent insurance agents, and the author of its training on insurance lead economics.
How he is paid, and what that means for you
ECOS Medicare Solutions is an independent agency: appointed with a number of Medicare Advantage, Medigap and Part D carriers in Utah, employed by none of them. When you enroll in a plan through us, the carrier pays us a commission. That commission comes out of the carrier’s filed rate — it is never added to your premium. You pay the same whether you enroll through us, through another agent, or directly with the insurer; going direct does not make a policy cheaper, and using us does not make it dearer.
We do not represent every plan sold in Utah, and we say so on every page. For a complete list, use Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or Utah SHIP (800-541-7735), the state’s free and independent counseling program.
Licensing
Darin is a licensed insurance agent in Utah and fourteen other states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Washington — under National Producer Number 18580338, which you can verify with the Utah Insurance Department or the NIPR. The multi-state licence is what lets us follow Utah snowbirds to Mesquite and Arizona.
