How do you get paid?

In the course of consultation and explanation of the options available for retirement health insurance and other benefits, a customer may decide that a supplemental health insurance or other type of plan would be right for them.

When it was time for us to choose which insurance plans we would represent, it was a natural fit to choose them. We simply would not put our name behind any other company! We appreciate that because it is a mutual company, the policy owners, directly reap the benefits of the Company's success.
It is an A+ rated company with exceptional customer service. The Company is also built upon corporate values of trust, security and family which direct every aspect of the Company.
