I worked with Caitlyn when my Medicare Advantage plan was terminated and I needed new coverage. I had many questions about options (switching to original medicare, getting a supplement, or another advantage plan). She provided accurate information and gathered data on several plans, so I could come to a decision. She completed my application over the phone. I appreciated Caitlyn's swift replies to emails, her knowledge of various options and the companies available in my area, and follow-thru at every step.

Impressed with TIG (Thomas Insurance Group). These folks are very obviously experts in all things Medicare. Enrolled in a Medicare supplement plan in just a few minutes since they knew all the options inside & out and also how to make the choices easy. Even though it was quick and easy I did the research and am confident they recommended the best coverage for my situation. Highly recommended!

Charley was wonderful to work with as my husband and I transitioned to Medicare. His extensive knowledge of the process and available resources to fit our individual needs was invaluable. His suggestions and recommendations were made with empathy and understanding and done in a very professional and sincere manner. We felt totally confident in our final decisions about our plans. His staff was organized and conscientious about obtaining necessary information, scheduling appointments and follow-up. I would highly recommend him and the Thomas Insurance Group. It was a great experience and we are grateful for his expertise!

I can highly recommend Thomas Insurance Group based on my experience with them over the past two years. I shall be returning each year for advice and updates. Last year, they helped me sign up for an excellent Medicare Advantage plan when my qualification for Medigap was doubtful. This year, that MA plan was discontinued and TIG helped me sign up to a Medigap plan within minutes by phone. They had all the answers to my questions and filled out the applications for me. It was fast, painless, and convenient, and I got exactly what I wanted. Going with TIG is a no-brainer.

I am so pleased that I was referred to TIG and Charley Tinsley through the "Retirement Nerds". Charley took his time explaining all the options for Advantage Plans and Supplement Plans. He also took into account my current coverage at work and my plans for retirement. I was finally confident in making the right decision for me as a result of his thorough explanations. His team at TIG took care of ALL my paper work and he even walked me through my application process for Medicare. I can't recommend this group enough. If you are in a quandary regarding which Medicare plan to take, please give TIG a call. You will not regret it!

My agent Becky Larsen was amazing. Anyone who experienced having to get insurance after they retire can relate to how horrible it can be and confusing. I was so grateful for Becky‘s help and waiting through all of the options and opportunities that were available and explaining them to me in extreme detail. I really feel like a lot is taken off my mind and I feel so relieved and so grateful for their help I would seriously recommend Thomas insurance group to anyone that needed help with their insurance and different options.
