Annette Rodriguez Miller

Medicare Advisor

Annette Rodriguez Miller, bilingual Medicare advisor at Bayside Health Benefits serving Central Florida in English and Spanish

“I spent years helping people navigate education, now I help them navigate Medicare. Turns out teaching and insurance have a lot in common: patience, guidance, and translating confusing stuff into real-life answers. Helping people feel informed and cared for will always be my ‘why!’”

– Annette Rodriguez Miller

Annette brings a strong sense of care, clarity, and cultural understanding to every Medicare conversation. Originally from the Bronx and having lived for over a decade in Puerto Rico, she’s fully bilingual in English and Spanish and connects easily with people from all walks of life.

Before joining Bayside, Annette spent 35 years in education, helping students and families navigate decisions with patience and empathy; skills that now shape her work in Medicare planning. She takes the time to truly listen, explain options in a clear and relatable way, and help each client find a plan that fits both their health needs and their budget.

From the Classroom to Medicare Planning

Teaching is its own discipline. It requires patience when a concept is not landing yet, and the ability to find a different way to explain the same idea until it genuinely clicks. It also requires a real investment in whether the person across from you walks away understanding what they needed to learn, not just believing they understood it.

When Annette moved from education into Medicare advising, she brought these skills with her.

How Annette Works With Clients

Before Annette discusses any specific plan, she asks about your doctors and specialists, your prescriptions, your monthly budget, and what matters most to you in your health care coverage. She compares options across the carriers Bayside Health Benefits represents and walks you through the choices that fit your situation, not a generic recommendation built for someone else.

She does not use jargon when plain language works, nor rush to a recommendation before you understand the options in front of you. She takes as much time as the conversation requires. She learned, in 35 years of teaching, that there is no shortcut to genuine understanding, and she brings that lesson to every Medicare consultation she leads.

It was a pleasure working with Dayna as my Medicare agent. The first time I met Dayna was at her luncheon seminar, where she provided details of the options available via Medicare. There were no pressure sales involved. I asked Dayna to let me get back in touch with her when I had more time to investigate the options. Once I narrowed down the options I felt might be right for me, I contacted Dayna to schedule an in-person meeting to discuss the choices. Dayna took the information regarding my needs, finances, and choices to help me make my final decision. She never pushed any individual plan during this process, which is what I needed to make this long-term Medicare choice. I would highly recommend Dayna and Bayside Health Benefits when making your Medicare decisions.

I was referred to Dana by a relative and boy what a great referral that was! She was totally grounded in knowledge and had the greatest disposition when discussing my options. I never felt rushed in the 2-3 hours we spent talking when we met to go over things. I would highly recommend Dana for anyone looking for Medicare information as she was a 10 on my list. Thank you Dana :)
