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