About Florida Health Resources
Meet Scott Black — Your Local Florida Medicare Agent
Helping seniors across Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Ellenton, Palmetto, and Lakewood Ranch understand Medicare with honest guidance, personalized recommendations, and over 20 years of local experience.
Scott's Story
A Florida agent who's spent two decades guiding Sarasota & Manatee neighbors through Medicare.
Scott Black is a Licensed Insurance Agent and President of Florida Health Resources. For more than 20 years, he's helped Medicare beneficiaries throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Ellenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding Sarasota County and Manatee County communities understand their options and choose coverage that fits their lives.
Scott helps clients compare every facet of Medicare — Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), and Part D Prescription Drug plans, and Special Needs Plans — so each person can find their "Custom Fit."
He takes the time to evaluate the things that actually matter: your preferred doctors, the hospitals you trust, your prescriptions, your monthly budget, and the lifestyle you want to keep living. You can browse Scott's Medicare Education Center or the Medicare blog any time you want to learn more on your own.
Above all, Scott takes an education-first approach. There are no high-pressure pitches and no rushed decisions. His goal is simple: help informed clients make confident Medicare decisions — and stay available to answer questions long after the paperwork is signed.
Whether you're brand new to Medicare, coming off a group plan, or just want a second opinion on your current coverage, Scott will meet you in person across the Sarasota–Manatee region or electronically when that's more convenient. Prefer a group setting? Reserve a seat at an upcoming free Medicare dinner seminar.
