Services
ACA Marketplace Plans Through our ACA Marketplace service, we help simplify the process of finding and enrolling in health insurance coverage. We explain how Marketplace plans work and outline the advantages and limitations of Bronze, Silver, and Gold options. Our guidance also covers available savings, essential healthcare benefits, enrollment opportunities, and coverage considerations for individuals, families, and small businesses.
Private & Short-Term Plans When permanent health coverage is temporarily unavailable, we help clients explore private short-term insurance plans that may provide protection against unexpected medical expenses. We work with individuals, families, and small businesses to identify appropriate options for their circumstances. These plans can offer quick coverage and lower costs, but they may not include all essential benefits or automatic renewal.
Hospital Indemnity Insurance Our hospital indemnity insurance helps bridge gaps in medical expense coverage by providing set cash benefits for qualifying hospital stays and related services. You can use flexible benefits as needed for expenses such as deductibles, prescriptions, and other costs not covered by your health plan. Coverage may also extend to your entire family.
Medicare Plans Our Medicare service is designed to make choosing coverage easier and more understandable. We provide guidance on Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and prescription drug plans while explaining how Original Medicare works. By reviewing available Nebraska plans and your specific needs, we help you make informed coverage decisions and provide ongoing annual plan reviews.
Dental & Vision Plans We help clients explore dental and vision coverage designed for different needs and budgets. Dental options may provide preventive services and benefits for fillings, extractions, crowns, and other care, while vision plans can assist with exams and eyewear. Our licensed insurance professionals compare available choices and explain costs, networks, benefits, and limitations.
Supplemental Insurance Our supplemental insurance service helps you evaluate coverage designed to provide additional financial protection alongside primary health insurance. We can explain options for covered cancer, heart attack, stroke, and accidental injuries. Policy benefits may be paid directly to you when a covered event occurs. We make comparing available choices easier with licensed professional guidance.
Life Insurance Our life insurance services are designed to help individuals and families explore coverage that supports their financial needs. We offer term, whole life, and final expense options from reputable insurers. Licensed insurance professionals can explain coverage amounts, policy types, premiums, and benefits while helping you compare choices in a straightforward and stress-free manner.

Jose Ortez was my point of contact through BCBS. We communicated through email and phone. I was switching insurances after my maternity leave was up and he was super helpful with that transition. He helped me with running the numbers and finding a plan for me. He was thorough with talking me through each step and what the upcoming steps to expect were. Jose followed up with me in a timely manner every question I had. Insurance tends to be a stressful topic but he made it easy!

José was very professional and attentive to what type of insurance I needed. He took his time researching available plans and even made sure that the medication I take was covered. I'm retiring soon and will be using José to help me set up what I will need when it comes to Medicare.
