Navigating insurance coverage in this day and age practically requires a special degree— particularly when it comes to the ever-changing yet consistently confusing world of health insurance. New transplants to East Cobb, Brandy and Rocco Solorzano are making it a family affair to assure that there is a trustworthy and free advisor available in our community to help families and business owners make the best possible insurance coverage choices for their needs and budget. Their tagline says is all: “Our Plans are Based on Yours.”
Insur’d opened in the Sprayberry Square shopping center in May and is a rare gem in the insurance sector, truly offering personal, “one stop shopping” for consumers that takes the legwork out of researching all the various policies, plans and carriers. All of the experienced, licensed agents at Insur’d live in the community and actually take the time to meet personally with you to understand your unique needs. The Solorzanos have been in business since 2010 and take immense pride in having built a comprehensive insurance business—encompassing not just auto, life, commercial and travel insurance, but also health coverage, something few local companies can address. With government mandates for health insurance going away and fewer insurance carriers offering individual health policies to families and small business owners, the need to have a strong advocate on the side of the consumer is more important than ever before.
October 1 begins pre-Open enrollment for those that have Medicare. For all other individuals not on Medicare, Open Enrollment starts Nov 1. Not fully understanding the fine print of a policy can render an individual underinsured or in a worse case scenario, not covered at all when an illness or injury occurs. “It can be overwhelming understanding what Medicare covers and what supplemental coverage is best based on each individual’s circumstance,” said Brandy Solorzano. “Sometimes you don’t really understand your insurance coverage until you need it and then find out it isn’t what you thought you were getting. I worry for those that rely on the Internet or a call center that may not even be located in Georgia when making critically important decisions about medical coverage for themselves, their children and their aging parents. There are just too many opportunities for consumers to be scammed.”
Insur’d researches and summarizes all of the available plans at no cost to the customer. They serve as your educated liaison with the insurance companies to assure every detail on coverage and cost is fully vetted before enrolling in a program. PPO, Indemnity, Short Term plans, medical cost-sharing programs, catastrophic care plans—how to choose? Insur’d can help.
“We love East Cobb and love being a part of the civic and school community here,” said Brandy, who enjoys volunteering at Wheeler High School and Eastvalley Elementary School, where the Solorzano’s sons attend. “I feel that we can relate well to how confusing it is for a small business owner, a parent or a student to fully grasp the pros and cons of the various policies and be assured they are getting the appropriate coverage they need. We have been in their shoes. Because we eat, sleep and drink insurance, we can make sure no one is caught up in the many insurance scams out there today.”
Insur’d has guided over 30,000 people in making smart insurance decisions since inception. They are located at 2550 Sandy Plains Road, Suite 365 in Marietta, Georgia 30066 (Next to LA Fitness) and have extended hours during Open Enrollment from 8am-9pm Monday through Friday, Saturday by appointment. Call 678-792-4555 or pop in to their sunny, inviting offices.
