HEALTHMARKETS CANBY GRAND OPENING – FIRST OF ITS KIND RETAIL STORE FRONT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE
CANBY, OR – HealthMarkets® Insurance Agency will open its doors to the community on March 1st as the first retail store front for health insurance and Medicare in the area and only the second of its kind in the region. The agency represents an innovative model and new trend for purchasing individual and small group health insurance.
While the retail approach to customer service is not new to the insurance industry, it is a new concept in health insurance. HealthMarkets Insurance Agency is the only licensed agency of its kind offering consumers direct access to local agents solely dedicated to individual and small group health insurance in a professional agency setting. Consumers and small business owners can walk in at any time and sit down with an agent to obtain professional guidance and assistance in navigating their health insurance options at no additional cost – the service is free!
Independent HealthMarkets agents Kris Sallee, Beth Nelson and Mikal Stampke will operate the Canby HealthMarkets store front, offering years of knowledge and expertise and a new level of customer service to simplify and demystify the process of researching, selecting and obtaining individual and small group health insurance. “There is a real need for this type of personalized service as the entire process is complex and can be time consuming and overwhelming for the average person or small business owner,” says Sallee. “We are excited to be a part of the community and look forward to serving our neighbors and friends.” Building relationships at the community level is one of the primary tenets of the agency.
HealthMarkets Insurance Agency, Inc. is licensed as an insurance agency in all 50 states and DC. Since 2010, HealthMarkets has helped enroll Americans in more than 2 million insurance policies.
