Schedule Your Appointment

Due to numerous plan changes for the 2025 Annual Enrollment Period, combined with an increased number of clients we are meeting with, availability is very limited through Dec. 7. Please call me to schedule your appointment.

NOTE: If Janet is your agent and you can't find a time on Janet's calendar, please do NOT choose a different agent to meet with, as this will complicate and slow down your enrollment.

Please call our office if you run into scheduling issues.


Here's what Janet's clients say!

N.N., Customer
Janet Johnson seems to me to be very service oriented. If my call goes to voice mail, she is prompt about calling back. She seems to be genuinely interested in getting the best deal for me and has repeatedly assured me that if I have issues with billing from the insurance company she will make sure the situation is set right. That is important service to me. She comes to my home to talk to me about my options and to get me signed up for the best option for me. That will become more important to me should I develop mobility/transportation restrictions as I age. She is prompt in coming when she says she will be here. She seems to me to be knowledgeable about Medicare and how it works/what is and is not covered and how I can be sure I don't fall into pitfalls. That, too, is really important
B.M., Customer
I felt that your representatives were well informed and would be willing to go to bat for me if I ever had an issue with the insurance agency in the future. Both representatives I spoke with were personable and seemed eager to help me find what options were right for me. Janet has many years of experience in this field and has been a teacher in the past as I have been. Both representatives were willing to come to my home to do business. I hope that will continue as I get older since mobility has become a major issue with my elderly mother and I can see how difficult that makes it for her to do business she needs to conduct.
Customer since 2015
It was nice to be able to find that someone, we actually know and trust, could be of help to us when we found ourselves in a position of needing to find health insurance. Janet has taken the lead and also taken all of the worry out of setting us up with what we need and what is in our best interest.
K.S., Customer

Janet was very helpful in researching and finding a reliable supplement to my Medicare. I have been very pleased with the coverage and promptness in payment of bills. Also Janet helped find a reliable Prescription Part D plan.
Customer since 2014
My appointments with Janet Johnson were very affective for my health insurance and for my husband's too. I appreciate her good familiarity with us and improving our coverage.
D.H., Customer
I have received calls from my agent, Janet Johnson, advising me about my coverage. Recently, she called me just to advise me that I was ok for the coming year and didn't need to change anything in my coverage. This was a surprise call. I had no idea she was even looking at my policy. It is comforting to know that someone is watching out for me and my insurance coverage. As we age, it is easy to overlook changes, or not understand things we get in the mail. This is a great service and Janet is a superb representative of her company, Sams-Hockaday, and of my interests. Thank you.

It's like coming to visit a friend... and oh, also, discussing my insurance needs. Janet is so friendly, I never feel rushed out, how could anyone go anywhere else? My insurance needs are well handled. I never have to worry about my rates, coverage or claim forms. When I have concerns I can call Janet and she will fix it. It's great peace of mind. I have recommended Sams/Hockaday many times and will continue to do so. Thank you for a great service.
