ABOUT US
About TruLync Medicare Advisors
Guidance You Can Trust.
OUR APPROACH
We’re rooted in the credit union mission.
TruLync is part of the Minnesota Credit Union Network (MnCUN) and was built to serve a gap we kept seeing: credit union members approaching Medicare without the kind of personal support they were used to getting from their credit union.
Our licensed Medicare advisors work with members one-on-one to compare plans, answer questions, and handle enrollment — all at no cost. We also host educational events and webinars throughout the year for members who want to learn at their own pace first.
Medicare plan rates are standardized, which means you can't shop for a lower price the way you would with auto or home insurance. What you can choose is who helps you sort through it. That's what we're here for, and it's why the advisor relationship matters more than most people realize.
We help members with:
First-time Medicare enrollment
Plan comparisons based on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget
Annual reviews to make sure your plan still fits
We currently serve credit union members in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, and Iowa.

Tom Kuppich
Tom Kuppich is a dedicated expert on Medicare you can trust and have direct access to. Tom can help navigate the sometimes-overwhelming world of Medicare as your local licensed sales agent. Although “sales” is in his title, there is no obligation or cost. Education is truly at the center of everything we do. He is paid by the Medicare insurance carriers, not the people he is helping. Tom brings 22 years of insurance experience at two different agencies in the Aitkin area. Serving rural residents of Central Minnesota is at the heart of what he does. Prior to insurance, Tom served in the MN National Guard for 19 years. He has also given back to the community through his time and talents serving organizations that support the arts, health care, business, and youth sports.
Upcoming Medicare Events and Webinars
Throughout the year, our advisors host educational webinars and in-person sessions at credit unions across our service area. These cover Medicare basics, plan comparison walkthroughs, and key enrollment deadlines — no pressure, no sales pitch.
