I was completely lost when looking for new health insurance. I called several brokers, and none would take the time to explain everything to me. (They ) took the time and explained everything to me and answered every question I asked, without sounding annoyed. I am so grateful for the amazing service! I highly recommend Total Benefit Solutions, Inc! -Ariel M.

Through all my health insurance ups and downs through various degrees of employment, changes, marketplace changes, and medical needs, Ed and his team have kept me informed and sane through the constantly changing process. I honestly don’t know what I would do without them to call on when I am in an insurance panic! Even when they have no financial incentive, they are always there to help me!

As a commercial realtor I spend 90% of my time on the road and do not find myself at a desk very often. Having Total Benefit Solutions, Inc. as my broker makes the task simple, fast and to the point. And I never waste time on hold with the insurance company any longer. Thanks again Ed and Total Benefit Solutions Inc!

Ed and his staff were very helpful in getting me through the open enrollment process and answered my mother's questions with her Medicare enrollment. Most companies are only a phone call away, if you call during normal business hours. Ed responded to my questions and was very helpful when I sent a message over the weekend.
