With Visually Impaired People Day coming up on June 6, we’re taking a moment to highlight how Medicare handles vision care and what that means for your eye health.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) focuses on medical needs, so coverage typically applies to diagnosing and treating eye-related medical conditions. Routine eye exams, glasses, and vision checks usually aren’t included. Many Medicare Advantage plans, however, do offer routine vision benefits.

Our team at Van Handel Insurance Agency put together a simple overview to help you understand the differences and know what to expect from your coverage.

If you’d ever like to review how your Medicare plan addresses vision care—or explore your options—we’re always here to help.

Graduation season is almost here, and choosing the right gift can feel overwhelming. One option many families overlook is a life insurance policy—something practical that can support your graduate long after the celebrations end.

By securing coverage early, your grad can lock in lower premiums and start building a financial foundation that grows with them. Some policies even include cash value components that can be accessed later in life, and coverage can be updated as their income and goals evolve.

If you're curious about how life insurance works or what options make sense, our team at Van Handel Insurance Agency is always here to help.

National Senior Fraud Awareness Day is coming up on May 15, and our team wants to help you stay protected from some of the most common scams targeting older adults.

Here are a few red flags to watch for:

• Tech support scams: Scammers pretend to be trusted tech reps and try to get remote access or payment for fake issues.
• Government or Medicare impersonators: Real agencies won’t call, text, or email out of the blue asking for personal information or payments.
• Family imposter scams: Someone claims to be a loved one in trouble and pressures you to send money immediately.
• Sweepstakes or prize scams: If you’re told you’ve won money but have to pay fees first, it’s a scam.
• Romance or investment scams: Fraudsters build trust online and then use it to take advantage financially.

Staying informed is one of the best ways to stay safe, especially as more communication happens online. If you ever have questions or want guidance related to insurance or protecting your information, our team at Van Handel Insurance Agency is always here to help.

Feel free to share this post to help others stay aware and protected.

If you’re thinking about insuring a classic vehicle or want to add extra protection to an existing policy, our team at Van Handel Insurance Agency is here to help. Reach out anytime – we’d love to make sure your vehicle is fully covered.

National Small Business Week is a great reminder of how quickly unexpected losses can disrupt day‑to‑day operations. Many Wisconsin small businesses are navigating higher costs right now, and our team knows how tempting it can be to trim insurance coverage to save money.

But staying properly protected matters. Here are a few risks that come with being underinsured:

• A property loss can become an out‑of‑pocket expense if buildings, equipment, or tools aren’t insured to their true value.
• Income can stop after a fire or storm, even though payroll and rent continue without the right business income coverage.
• Liability claims can exceed your limits, leaving your business responsible for legal or medical costs.

If you're unsure whether your current policy keeps you fully protected, we're here to help. Van Handel Insurance Agency is happy to review your coverage and explore options that fit your budget while safeguarding your long‑term stability.
