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.

S.V., Customer
I retired June 30, 2016 and Jim and I each needed a supplemental medical policy and a prescription plan. Luke walked us through this process. His recommendations were "perfect" for us....he set the supplemental policy and gave us step by step instructions on getting set up with the prescription plan. We ran into some "glitches" with the prescription plan and he returned our calls immediately. He never made us feel he was "too busy." We could not have been more pleased with the ease of this transition and Luke's professionalism.
S.W., Customer

Thank You

Luke has always been willing to go above and beyond to help solve any issues I have had to receive reimbursements from the insurance companies.
