A Friendly Nudge Toward Health at Year’s End

Open Enrollment for Medicare Closes December 7, and December 15 for individual. We’re here for any question you have or just to shop around!

As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to remind you (and me!) to take full advantage of our health benefits before they reset. Remember that benefits often do not roll over to next year, so now is the perfect time to review what’s available and schedule any appointments or services you’ve been putting off.

Here are a few common benefits to consider:

  1. Annual checkups – If you haven’t had your yearly physical, now is the time to book it. Preventative care is essential for early detection and maintaining good health.
  2. Dental and vision exams – These are often included in health plans and can help catch issues before they become serious.
  3. Specialist visits – If you’ve been referred to a specialist but haven’t made an appointment yet, this is a great opportunity to follow through.
  4. Wellness programs – Many plans offer wellness incentives, such as discounts on gym memberships or smoking cessation programs.
  5. Vaccinations and screenings – Ensure you’re up to date with your immunizations and screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, or cholesterol checks.

Don’t let your benefits go to waste. Schedule your appointments soon to avoid the year-end rush and ensure you get the most out of your coverage.

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. That’s why I’m here.

Steps to Help You Prepare Your Home for Winter

Taking proactive steps to prepare your home and property for the worst of winter can save you time, money, and stress.

Home Maintenance

Tackle essential home maintenance tasks that will help reduce energy costs and prevent winter damage. This includes cleaning gutters to avoid ice dams, inspecting your roof for any damage, and ensuring your heating system is serviced and running efficiently for the cold months ahead.

Review Insurance Coverage

Winter is an excellent time to review your insurance policies. With the potential for storm damage, frozen pipes, and other winter-related risks, ensure your coverage is up-to-date, and check that your limits and deductibles align with your current needs.

Safety Precautions

With shorter days and longer nights, adding extra lighting around your home can improve visibility and safety. Don’t forget to check that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly, especially as heating systems and fireplaces come back into heavy use.

By preparing now, you’ll ensure your home is ready to handle the winter season, no matter what the thermometer says. 

Make sure in your quest to cut home insurance costs- that you have not eliminated important coverages in the process. Want a review? Hit us up!

We won!

Thank you! Thank you!  

We are so grateful to everyone who took the time to login and vote for us!

We are so honored to be recognized.

The first notice DMN sent out was incorrect and listed us as being in business since 1989. My Dad actually started his business in Tyler in 1989, and while I worked in his office on weekends- doing mailers and sneaking cigarettes (hey, it was the 80’s), we didn’t start in Dallas until 1997. We split from Tyler in 2010, and languished on page 10 of google initially. Despite being a presence in Dallas for all those years, Google thought we were new and stuck us way in the back. We had no call in business, which is hard for any business. Flash forward a few years, to being recognized with this award is a huge honor!!!
