Swipe through for a breakdown of both and what each one means for your bottom line.

If you want help determining whether you have ACV or RCV or would like to talk through how payout structures can impact your coverage, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to help.

From October 15th through December 7th, Medicare beneficiaries can review their coverage and make changes for 2027 during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can:

✅ Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, or vice versa.
✅ Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
✅ Add, change, or drop Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

This is also a good time to assess whether your current plan still meets your needs. Costs, covered medications, provider networks, pharmacies, and plan benefits can change from year to year, so even if you were happy with your coverage last year, it's worth taking a fresh look.

If you have any questions about your current plan, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to be a resource for you.

Most homeowners or drivers have some form of homeowners and auto insurance; however, their coverage might not be enough to protect them in the event of a major claim.

When a serious accident or unexpected lawsuit exceeds what your existing policies can cover, the gap between what you owe and what your insurance pays becomes very real, very fast. That’s where umbrella liability coverage comes in.

Umbrella liability insurance covers costs that would otherwise come straight out of your pocket. With relatively low annual costs, this comprehensive coverage can be one of the most affordable ways to fully protect what you love.

So, if you’re curious about whether umbrella insurance makes sense for your situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to help you run the numbers and see what makes sense.

October is Fire Prevention Month, serving as a good reminder that fire safety is not something to put off until an emergency happens. In the United States, one home structure fire is reported every 96 seconds, serving as a sobering reminder of the importance of fire safety.

So, that said, our team wanted to share a few practical tips worth reviewing this season:

⚫ Know the leading causes - Cooking and heating are the two leading causes of home fires in the United States. Never leave cooking unattended, keep flammable materials at least three feet from heat sources, and check electrical cords regularly for damage or fraying.

⚫ Check your smoke alarms - Test them monthly, replace batteries annually, and fully replace any alarm that is 10 or more years old.

⚫ Have an escape plan and practice it - Plan two ways to escape from every room, make sure all windows and doors open easily, and designate an outdoor meeting place.

⚫ Know how to use a fire extinguisher - Remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin, Aim low at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle slowly, and Sweep the nozzle side to side. If you are not confident, get out and call 911.

⚫ Build safer daily habits - Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces unattended, keep matches and lighters locked away from children, avoid overloading outlets, and turn off all appliances before leaving the house or going to bed.

Fire prevention is a shared responsibility, and a little preparation goes a long way. If you have further questions about fire safety, we encourage you to reach out to your local fire station.

And if you have any insurance questions or needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to help you.
