Zach Elf Great time working on getting me all lined out.very polite guy made it real easy for me

Adam Lang Kevin and his team saved our family $6,000 this year in health insurance premiums. Besides the premium savings, the policy they found has no deductible (only copays). Compare that to the $11,000 family deductible on the plan offered by my new employer (at $500 more per month), and you can see why I am proud to write this glowing, 5-star review for Kevin and Riverbend Insurance. Beyond the savings, Kevin was able to answer all of my questions and walk me through various scenarios (lots of doctor visits vs. few, specialists vs. regular visits, emergency care, etc.) in terms of plan and cost. Im the type of person who wants to understand all the details, which Im sure annoys many professionals. Kevin was incredibly patient and actually seemed happy that I wanted to have all our ducks in a row before pulling the trigger. I also had to follow up a few times after buying the policy to make sure I was clear on payment and policy number. His team answered the phone the first time I called and was able to answer my questions. Id recommend anyone who is looking for a better insurance rate to call Riverbend and let Kevin and his team do the work to find the best deal

Scott Debbie Chris is always able to take the time to listen and help evaluate our finances. He goes out of his way to think of ways to get us set up for retirement.
