As I navigated the Medicare insurance maze, Zach and his team recommended I enroll in Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Advantage; Zach emphasized its $0 cost monthly fee. I trusted him and simply did not ask enough questions about how this plan would address my health needs over the long-term. I also should have asked how he was being compensated for signing me up for this plan. Then I heard what a scam Medicare Advantage is and how much money insurance companies make for each patient they sign. Although Zach is not an insurance company, but a broker, I urge people to do more due diligence than I did. I was so unhappy with my Medicare Advantage coverage and so went to another broker, who essentially said "you get what you pay for:" if I want full insurance coverage beyond what Medicare offers, Medicare Advantage is NOT the plan for me.

I would highly recommend Zach if you find yourself in need of health coverage one day and feel intimidated and overwhelmed by the convoluted world of...
Read moreThis business and Zach have been so reliable in helping me find private health insurance as I am recently retired. Zach promptly returns all correspondences and lets you review all policy info before signing up. Also, this company is very knowledgeable about appropriate plans in your respective state of residence. I highly recommend him if you are seeking health care plans and coverage and am very lucky to have found him! He is totally legit!! In my experience, there are alot of “vultures” and scams out there and whenever you request a quote online, all you get are more websites and hundreds of spam or robo calls from “so called brokers” that know nothing near what Zach and his company know. What has become of this business, totally CRAZY, stressful, and rediculous?? Zach is “the guy” as his...
