Is Local Better?
When it comes to purchasing any insurance or speficially health insurance, working with a local insurance broker can offer a variety of benefits. From personalized service to local expertise, there are several reasons why choosing a local insurance broker can be a wise decision.
Let’s breakdown some of the key advantages of working with a local insurance broker:
Personalized service: Unlike purchasing insurance online or through a national chain, working with a local insurance broker allows you to receive personalized service. Your broker can take the time to get to know you and your unique insurance needs, budget and can work with you to find policies that fit your specific situation. With a local broker, you'll have a dedicated professional who is invested in helping you get the coverage you need-a true partner throughout your Medicare journey.
Local expertise: A local insurance broker will have a deep understanding of the insurance market in your area. They will know which insurance providers offer the best coverage for your needs, and can provide guidance on the local laws and regulations that may impact your coverage as well as state and local programs that can offer additional assistance.
Advocacy: When you work with a local insurance broker, you have an advocate on your side. If you need help with a claim, your broker can work with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure that your claim is handled quickly and fairly. They can also help you understand the application, claims, annual review process and answer any questions you may have along the way.
Access to a range of insurance products: A local, independent insurance broker will typically have access to a wider range of insurance products than a national chain, online provider or captive agent (repesents only one insurance comapny). This means that they can help you find coverage that fits your specific Medicare insurance needs finding coverage that works for your health needs, budget, lifestyle and personal likes/dislikes.
Long-term relationship: Finally, working with a local insurance broker can help you build a long-term relationship with a trusted professional. As your insurance needs change over time, your broker can help you adjust your coverage to ensure that you're always adequately protected and have peace of mind. And, because your broker is local, you can meet with them in-person to discuss your needs and concerns, rather than relying on phone or email communication.
In conclusion, working with a local insurance broker (like us 😉) can offer a range of benefits, from personalized service to local expertise and advocacy. If you're in the market for insurance coverage, consider working with a local broker to ensure that you get the coverage you need from a trusted professional.
