Why an independent broker beats a 1-800 number

Call a national 1-800 line and you'll talk to an agent paid to sell one carrier's plans. We represent 10 A-rated carriers and shop them all. We earn the same commission whichever carrier we place you with — so we have no reason to push you toward a specific company. We're paid by the carriers when we place a policy; you pay nothing for our help, ever.

And once you're a client, you stay a client. We re-shop your plan every year during AEP, verify your doctors and medications haven't fallen out of network, and answer your questions throughout the year — for the life of the policy.
