FAQ
How do I get help?
  • Ultimately, in order to help you we need to talk. You can call the office or email.
  • To help you get started, I have provided a basic education about Medicare and health insurance on these pages. If you want the rates for all companies and a comparison between other plans in the area, including the estimated total annual out of pocket expense, then I need to know more about you, like the county you live in and any drugs you are taking.
What is an insurance broker?
  • Broker is a general term that describes agents that represent multiple companies and are trained on their products.
  • Brokers must be licensed in the state they are selling in.
  • The elected insurance commissioner in each state sets standards for licensing and makes sure that the insurance industry, including brokers, meets mandates made by the legislature.
  • The main purpose of this web site is to educate people about health insurance topics that maximize your ability to control your costs.
Why work with a broker?
  • Don't worry. It doesn't cost you anything to work with a broker.
  • I get paid a small amount of money for every person I help with their enrollment. The companies all pay the same so there is no incentive to promote one plan over another. Instead of an insurer taking all the money, a large portion of the money I make gets donated back to the community in volunteer time for non-profit organizations that directly support sustainable living and research into self sufficient homesteading because that is what I like to do. If you like those things too, by purchasing your insurance through me you are supporting permaculture projects, education, local self reliance, home food preservation and many other community activities.
  • Brokers add value to your choices by making sure that your insurance is the best possible match and to be there to help when needed.
  • I am available all year long to help with claims problems, strategic planning, fixing billing problems, etc. If you need to change to a different company it's a lot easier with my help.
  • Working with a broker can help you avoid mistakes when choosing a plan. I use my experience to go through a list of questions based on my experience and what you tell me about your issues to make sure that you don't have surprises later.
  • I will be there if you need help with an insurer or the government and aren't sure how to solve the problem. I will stick with you as your advocate for as long as you want to pursue solving a problem.
  • The information I give is as unbiased as possible using by focusing on public information but combined with my years of experience working companies. I am not done until you feel good and assured that the decision you make is really in your best interest.
  • There is no obligation to share personal information with me or use me to enroll. See our privacy policy for information about what we do with information that we collect for insurance operations.
  • If you are spending days trying to figure this out for yourself, don't wait until the last minute. I can help cut through the clutter fast.
