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 Luke is your agent and you can't find a time on Luke'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.

D. R., Customer
You always make me feel so welcome. No question I ask seems stupid to you, at least you don't act like it!! Your advice to me concerning supplements and drug plans has always been so good!!!!
M.K., Customer
I found Luke to be very personable and always more than willing to find the information that I requested of him. If he didn't know the answer at the time he would either find it himself or ask someone in the know. From our first meeting with Luke my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with him and the way he conducted himself. We feel like they offered a great product and we couldn't be more pleased at this time.
Michael S., customer since 2014
I love the competitive prices you were able to secure for me on both the drugs and supplemental health policies. Also for the first time in about 3 years I am able to use some recommended medicine from my dermatologist that I was unable to recieve with the other policy . Thanks for the great effort. Larry
