Life insurance is essential for ensuring financial security for your dependents, covering daily living expenses, debts, and income replacement in the event of your untimely death. It supports business continuity, aids in estate planning by covering taxes, and provides peace of mind. Working with a reputable agent ensures you get the right coverage to meet your needs.

Under 65

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, was enacted in March 2010 to make health insurance affordable, expand Medicaid, and support innovative medical care delivery. Key features include health insurance marketplaces, tiered coverage levels, essential health benefits, and protections for pre-existing conditions. Despite changes to the individual mandate, open enrollment periods remain essential for accessing ACA-compliant plans.

Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as for certain younger individuals with disabilities or specific diseases. It is divided into four parts: Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (prescription drug coverage). Eligibility includes age and specific conditions, with various enrollment periods and costs such as premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance. Medigap policies can help cover additional costs not paid by Original Medicare.

aspect of my work.

Jason Herring

My insurance career started in 2010 with the Hartford. From day one, I was hooked on the joy and satisfaction of helping to protect families from the unexpected. In 2016, I took a leap of faith and started my own company as an independent agent. Being independent allows me to always do what is right for the client, not the insurance company. We offer solutions in an unbiased manner, ensuring that the client is always placed with the best company for their needs.

I live in Murfreesboro, TN with my beautiful wife Lori and our three girls. We have attended the Smyrna Church of Christ for 20 years, where I serve as Deacon.
