Patriot Federal Credit Union Partners with MedVía to Bring Medicare Guidance to Members

Through the partnership, Patriot members approaching age 65, as well as those already enrolled in Medicare, will have access to licensed advisors by phone, virtually, and in person at Patriot branches. The program will also feature dedicated Medicare Days during the Annual Enrollment Period, which runs from October 15 through December 7. Members can learn more, schedule an appointment with a licensed advisor, or register for educational seminars through the credit union’s dedicated program webpage https://patriot.medvia.ai/ .

“When our members look back on life’s important milestones, we want them to be able to say, ‘Patriot helped me with that,’” said Ron Celaschi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Patriot Federal Credit Union. “Turning 65 and navigating Medicare is one of those pivotal moments. Through this partnership, every Patriot member will have access to a licensed advisor they can trust, backed by the credit union they already know and trust, at no cost to them.

“Stewardship is one of Patriot’s core pillars and reflects our commitment to the financial well-being of our members and communities. We believe that responsibility extends beyond safeguarding members’ finances to supporting their overall well-being. Partnering with MedVía strengthens our ability to provide meaningful guidance and resources across generations, helping members make informed decisions at every stage of life.”

MedVía operates a proven Medicare guidance program that has been serving credit union members since 2018, combining licensed advisors, educational support, and modern technology to simplify the Medicare enrollment process. The program serves members throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states and is well-positioned to support Patriot’s growing presence in West Virginia.

“Credit unions are among the most trusted institutions in their members’ lives, and few milestones create more confusion than Medicare eligibility and enrollment,” said Justin Valenzuela, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MedVía. “Patriot is demonstrating its commitment to member well-being by providing trusted access to expert guidance during this important transition. We are proud to partner with them to deliver that support.”
