About us

Independent since day one.

We don’t work for an insurance company. We work for the people who buy insurance — which means we can shop every carrier we represent and tell you the honest answer.
Who we are

An independent agency, built around one client at a time.

Health Benefit Services is an independent agency specializing in Medicare, Individual, Group Health Insurance, and Home & Auto.
Since our founding, HBS has been dedicated to providing clients with superior service and managing your health care and retirement needs.
We do that by combining modern technology with good old-fashioned service. Your personal agent services your account directly — from answering questions to understanding and addressing your specific needs.
Independent means no quotas and no company line. A captive agent can only sell you what their employer offers. We compare across every carrier we represent, so the recommendation you get is the one that actually fits.
How we're built

One agent you know. Two layers behind them.

You get a single named advisor — but you’re never relying on one person’s memory of a 20-carrier market.

Front line

Your personal agent
A licensed advisor who services your account directly — answering questions, understanding your situation, and addressing your specific needs. The same person, year after year.

Behind them

Product specialists
A team that stays on top of the complex and ever-changing insurance market, so your agent’s advice reflects what carriers are actually doing this year — not last year.

Every day

Full-time support staff
The people handling the day-to-day of your coverage — paperwork, ID cards, billing questions, renewals — so the details don’t land back on you.
Why independent matters

The difference isn't the pitch. It's the options.

Both kinds of agent are licensed. Only one can walk away from a carrier that stops being a good deal for you.
