Mercy and Anthem have finally kissed and made up.

I know that's been a big concern for a lot of the folks I've talked to in the past few weeks.

As of right now, Mercy will not be in network with Anthem on January 1, 2025. While contract negotiations continue, we want to keep caring for you and help you better understand your options. You can still see your Mercy providers as usual until the end of this year.

Thank you to all my Farmers clients, it's been an amazing 13 years and I couldn't have done it without you.

I am still working with Medicare insurance plans, but I've sold my Farmers agency; Ken Teague Farmers Insurance will be your new agent.

Hey look! We made national news!

"The Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center has drawn a broad Level 3 out of 5 risk for severe weather from northeast Texas all the way to the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. That zone includes areas just east of Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis, Springfield, Mo., and St. Louis."

Be careful today, folks.

Intense storms threaten large areas of the eastern United States, but the zone including St. Louis, Little Rock and Nashville is most at risk.

Can confirm.

The cost of paying for climate-related disasters is pushing insurance rates up, writes Barry Rowell, who offers an alternative.

Had two unrelated conversations about life insurance yesterday.

My 9yo was at the office because of Spring Break and he asked me about this poster I have behind my desk.

Later that afternoon, I talked to a former funeral home director, who said he had terrifying stories about people who were left with nothing after the death of a spouse.

If you have people who depend on you, you need life insurance.

Good info. And yes, your credit rating affects your car and home insurance.

(But not your life or health insurance)

There’s a lot of animosity about this grading system, but it is part of our financial lives.
