Our Story
MAEA was founded in 1979 as ElderCare Associates, a small, community- focused insurance brokerage in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Over the decades, our commitment to excellence and extensive industry experience and knowledge have allowed us to expand our reach. We now serve clients across the U.S. with the same personalized care that defined our early years.
With a wide network of trusted partners, we make sure everyone has access to the information and insurance plans they need, no matter where they are in the country.
Our Mission and Corporate Responsibility
MAEA’s mission is simple: to ensure every client is enrolled in the insurance plan that best serves their unique needs. We achieve this by maintaining the highest standards of integrity in everything we do.
Compliance and Ethics Program
We maintain a robust compliance and ethics program consistent with guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and local and state agencies and legislators. Our program seeks to prevent, detect and resolve legal violations. Its oversight is routinely evaluated and updated.
Community Engagement & Accountability
We work closely with governing entities and community organizations to combat unethical practices, fraud, waste and abuse and identify predators across the healthcare industries. Our commitment extends to responding promptly and appropriately to all reports of violations.
