Insurance & Retirement Services

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are an alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurance carriers. These plans typically bundle hospital, medical, and prescription drug coverage into one plan and often include extras like dental, vision, hearing, and fitness benefits. We help you compare plans available in your ZIP code based on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

Medicare Supplement plans help pay for the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not cover, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. We compare plans from multiple A-rated carriers to find the right balance of coverage and monthly premium for your situation.

Part D Prescription Drug Plans

If you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Supplement plan, you will likely need a separate Part D prescription drug plan. We run your specific medication list through every Part D plan available in your area to find the one with the lowest total annual cost — not just the cheapest premium.

Life Insurance

Whether you need term life for income protection during your working years, whole life for permanent coverage and cash value, indexed universal life for tax-advantaged retirement supplementation, or final expense coverage to protect your family from funeral costs, we shop the market to find the right fit.

Annuities & Retirement Income

Fixed and fixed indexed annuities can provide guaranteed lifetime income, principal protection, and tax-deferred growth. As your retirement nest egg becomes the most important account you own, we help you evaluate whether an annuity makes sense as part of a balanced retirement strategy — and which carriers and contract structures offer the best long-term value.

Supplemental Health Insurance

Even good Medicare and major medical coverage leaves gaps. Supplemental policies pay cash benefits directly to you when something happens, helping cover deductibles, copays, lost income, or anything else. We offer:

• Hospital Indemnity — daily cash benefit for hospital stays
• Cancer Insurance — lump-sum benefit on a cancer diagnosis
• Heart Attack & Stroke — lump-sum benefit on diagnosis of a covered cardiac event
• Critical Illness — broader coverage for serious diagnoses
• Dental, Vision, & Hearing — coverage Medicare does not include
• Accident Insurance — benefits for covered accidental injuries

Long-Term Care Insurance

The cost of extended care — whether at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility — can quickly drain even a well-funded retirement. Traditional long-term care insurance and modern hybrid life/LTC products can protect your savings and reduce the burden on your family. We help you understand the options, costs, and tradeoffs.
