    Why I Do This Differently

    I became an insurance broker after watching my own parents struggle with Medicare. They were overwhelmed by conflicting information and pushy sales tactics.

    That's when I realized: people don't need another salesperson. They need an educator. Someone who will answer their questions honestly - even if it means recommending they don't buy certain coverage.

    As an independent broker licensed in all 50 states, I'm not tied to any single insurance company. I've helped 1,284+ families find the right coverage - and I show you every option so you can choose what's right for your situation.

    Saved $340/month
    "Nick saved us over $340/month on our family health insurance. We were paying $820 on COBRA after my husband changed jobs - Nick found us a marketplace plan with better coverage for $475. We had no idea we qualified for subsidies."

    Avoided costly coverage gap
    "I was about to sign up for the first Medicare Advantage plan I found. Nick showed me a Supplement plan that costs $47 more per month but saves me thousands if I ever need surgery. He walked me through every scenario with zero pressure."

    Max S.

    Turning 65 · Medicare enrollee

    $62/month after subsidies
    "As a self-employed photographer, I assumed I couldn't afford real health insurance. Nick found me a Silver plan for $62/month after subsidies - and showed me how to deduct it on my taxes. The whole call took 20 minutes."

    Karena N.

    Self-employed · Lincoln, NE

    Saved $200/month at renewal
    "Nick has been my insurance guy for years. He always takes time to walk me through each plan. He's patient and never pushy. When my rates jumped $200/month last year, he moved me to a better plan that actually cost less. If you need an insurance guy, choose Nick."

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about working with an independent insurance broker in Omaha, Nebraska.

    Do you charge for consultations?
    No. Our consultations are always free with no obligation. As an independent insurance broker in Omaha, we are paid by the insurance carriers, not by you - so our service costs you nothing extra.
    What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?
    Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that often includes drug coverage and extras like dental. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles. Advantage plans typically have lower premiums but use provider networks, while Supplement plans offer more freedom to see any doctor who accepts Medicare. As a Nebraska Medicare advisor, we help you compare both options side-by-side.
    What states do you serve?
    We are licensed in all 50 states and can help you no matter where you live. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, we serve clients locally and nationwide. Consultations are done by phone or video, so location is never a barrier.
    What does an independent insurance agent actually do?
    An independent agent works with multiple insurance carriers - not just one company. This means we can compare plans side-by-side and recommend the best fit for your situation, rather than pushing a single company's products. Our job is to educate you so you can make a confident decision.
    Can you help me compare plans?
    Yes. As an independent agency with access to 200+ carriers, we show you side-by-side comparisons of plans, premiums, deductibles, and networks so you can see exactly what you're getting. Whether you need a Medicare broker in Omaha or a health insurance agent anywhere in the country, we do the research for you.
    When is Medicare Open Enrollment?
    Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7 each year, allowing you to change Medicare Advantage or Part D plans. The Initial Enrollment Period starts three months before you turn 65 and ends three months after. There's also a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment from January 1–March 31.
    How much does health insurance cost without an employer?
    Individual health insurance costs vary widely based on your age, location, tobacco use, and plan type. ACA marketplace plans range from roughly $200 to $800+ per month before subsidies. Most people qualify for subsidies that significantly reduce premiums - sometimes to under $50/month. We help self-employed individuals and families in Nebraska find out exactly what they qualify for.
    Do I need life insurance if I'm single with no dependents?
    It depends. If no one relies on your income, you may not need much coverage. However, locking in a life insurance policy while you're young and healthy means significantly lower rates. If you have debts like student loans with a cosigner, or plan to have dependents someday, getting coverage early is one of the smartest financial moves you can make.
    What is supplemental insurance and do I need it?
    Supplemental insurance - like hospital indemnity, critical illness, or accident insurance - pays cash benefits directly to you when a covered event happens. It's designed to fill gaps in your primary health insurance, especially if you have a high-deductible plan. Whether you need it depends on your savings, your deductible, and your risk tolerance.
    How do ACA subsidies work?
    ACA subsidies (premium tax credits) lower your monthly health insurance premium based on your household income relative to the federal poverty level. If your income is between 100% and 400% of FPL - or even higher under current rules - you likely qualify. Learn more about how to apply for subsidies.
    What happens if I miss my Medicare enrollment deadline?
    Missing your Medicare enrollment deadline can result in permanent late enrollment penalties - 10% added to your Part B premium for every 12 months you were eligible but didn't enroll. You may also have to wait until the next enrollment period to sign up, leaving you without coverage. We help make sure you never miss a deadline.
    Is dental insurance worth it?
    It depends on your dental health and needs. If you only need cleanings and checkups, a discount dental plan may be more cost-effective. If you anticipate crowns, implants, or other major work, a traditional dental insurance plan with higher coverage limits often pays for itself. We help you compare both options.
