I can't say enough kind things about the friendliness and professionalism of the help I received from Kathy Thousand. The fact that I almost waited too long before the Dec. 7 deadline to ask for her help in finding a new plan for me did not sway her in the least. She just got right to work and came up with a great money-saving option and I am thrilled!

I recommend anyone that has any questions about Medicare insurance to let Kathy and her team guide you through this process. There is nothing like sitting and talking to someone in person, who can answer all your questions. I also know that if I need help or have any questions in the future, I can always call her! Thank you so much for your help!

20 years ago the Thousand's wrote our health insurance plan which I have kept all these years. I can't believe the time has come for a new chapter, Medicare! Once again I feel confident that Kathy has done a wonderful job of finding the coverage's right for this phase of our insurance needs as well. Thank you for easing my apprehension regarding these insurance changes as well!

Complex...made very simple. Kathy Thousand was/is the best in her advice regarding Medicare Supplemental plans. Normally, choosing a plan is very complex and confusing...in her case Kathy explained in simple terms what care is best for me.I would give her 10 stars if that was possible!

I can’t say enough about the assistance with Kathy Thousands from Insurance Options, Inc. My husband and I are newcomers to Florida and MEDICARE. Kathy took as much time as we needed to make a choice for which Medicare supplement to take. She is a wealth of knowledge and information about all insurance options. Several weeks later, after we make our choice, we had more questions and again, she took her time and reviewed our program to ensure we were comfortable with our supplement choice. If you need any guidance with Medicare supplements or other insurance, please give her a call.....you won’t regret it.Five Star company, and Customer Service.....
