As a Property & Casulaty agent I am often asked to provide L-H-D products. I am confident when I refer my clients and associates to Ed for their Life, Health and Disability services that they will be treated with the same level of care I would offer them. Ed provides a menu of options that suit the clients preferences giving them a chance to choose which best suits them.
Ed now handles my company's health plan; Total Benefit Solutions, Inc. is top notch!

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. Amazing customer service! -Fibrenew Lower Bucks
