I have been using this office for quite a number of years for my individual medical insurance. I recently "graduated" to Medicare and quite frankly, I was dreading it. What I was reading online was more confusing than not. Maureen is a true gem! She is professional, takes the time and care to discuss the options, and the ease in her delivery was so easy to understand. And, she gets back to you quickly. I never had to wait more than a day to hear back from her.

lquoteThe daunting landscape of health insurance is difficult for any business owner or individual to navigate. Ed and his team make the process really easy. We’ve been with Total Benefit Solutions Inc. for many years, and we recently decided to switch our plans. Both Ed and Amber spent time walking us through the various options, including the pros and cons of each plan and answered countless questions.

I’ve been working with Total Benefits Solutions for many years now. Every year they run the numbers for comparison of the prescription plans available to supplement my Medicare plan. She does a fantastic job, even recommending plans that don’t work with brokers (no commission to them). (they) found health care plans for me before I went on Medicare as well. Do yourself a favor. Call them. You will be glad you did!

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. He took his 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!  Franklin S

lquoteWe have been working with (Total Benefit Solutions Inc.) since we decided to start our own company benefit plan. Ed and his team took the time to answer each question along the way, and advised us about the challenges even before they happened. The support provided to us was invaluable in many aspects of running our company, not just getting the benefits installed. In retrospect I cannot imagine how any small business could complete the process on their own without creating more problems for themselves. It could have been an enormous headache, but instead it was smooth from beginning to end. Thanks!
