Why is it important for physicians/groups to have this coverage or these services in place?
When there’s a gap in coverage, it’s important to look at short-term options or alternative options to avoid expensive health care costs if treatment or care would be needed.
Who should reach out to your team for coverage (what stage of life, what age, etc.)?
Anyone who is need of a health plan. If a group health plan is not available, or you find yourself between jobs or not yet eligible for Medicare, we can help look at individual plan options.
Tell us a little about your background and why you do what you do?
My own health-related struggles with infertility and understanding the high cost of treatment led me to the insurance field and obtaining my life and health license and wanting to help others have the proper coverage in place.

What is your favorite client story?
I had a physician frantically call as he had lost his individual health coverage and had been unaware. It was outside of open enrollment, so he was unable to get back on that same plan. We were able to quickly work together to find a short-term plan option to cover the gap until open enrollment. At open enrollment time we worked together again to find a better plan option for the following year.
