When it comes to deciphering the complexities of Medicare regulations and translating them into easy-to-understand concepts, very few people can hold a candle to the women behind i65 — Medicare experts, Diane J. Omdahl, RN, MS, and Melinda A. Caughill, CSA.

Meet Diane

For more than 35 years, Diane has kept tabs on the ever-changing landscape of Medicare regulations. As a registered nurse, she launched her first company in the basement of her home and proceeded to grow it into the leading provider of Medicare-related training, guidance and education for the nation's home healthcare agencies.

Over the years, Diane has delivered more than 400 Medicare-related audio conferences and 100 in-depth, two-day seminars, making her a very experienced and highly-rated speaker.

In 2012, Diane founded 65 Incorporated to provide the nation's seniors, along with their families, trusted advisors and employers, with unbiased, individualized Medicare enrollment guidance through fee-for-service, one-on-one consultations. 65 Incorporated, like i65, is NOT affiliated with the sale of Medicare insurance products in anyway, thus giving clients a peace of mind that the recommendations being made are always in their best interest. Through her work, Diane's been featured in publications such as Forbes, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal Market Watch, CBS MoneyWatch, Kiplinger, American Journal of Nursing, and many more. She's also been a advisory counsel member for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Meet Melinda

For Melinda, Medicare is more than just a job, it’s a family tradition.

As the daughter a nationally-recognized Medicare expert and pioneer, Diane J. Omdahl, RN, MS, she basically grew up with Medicare being discussed nightly at the dinner table.

With her extensive background in marketing in addition to Medicare, Melinda is skilled at taking the most confusing and complex aspects of Medicare and translating it into easy-to-understand visual concepts. In fact, she’s the designer behind the revolutionary “3 Parts and 2 Paths” redefinition of how Medicare works. According to many people, this unique interpretation was “the first time Medicare ever made sense.”

Melinda is also a high-energy and entertaining Medicare speaker, having presented to professional organization, like the AAII, CSA, and FPA, as well as for prominent companies, like Edward Jones, Allstate, LPL, AIG and more. When given a choice on topics, Melinda most enjoys educating financial advisors on how to use Medicare as a powerful marketing tool to grow their business.
