It's that time of year again: enrollment season! Figuring out health insurance can be a confusing and frustrating process. Everyone needs it, but not everyone knows their options. Kjirstin Mich’l started K Med Insurance after years of self-employment and having to figure out her and her husband’s insurance. She said she always wished someone could help her, but the advantage of her necessary research is that she learned enough to help others. Once her three kids were all old enough and her busy parent-schedule calmed down, Kjirstin found herself called to health insurance.
“I love what I do. People laugh and say, ‘Insurance? Really? You love it?’ Yes I do. I love helping people find a plan that will help them live a better and healthier life, maybe save some money in the process,” says Kjirstin.
Kjirstin continues to describe a time when she knew working as an insurance agent was for her. She was approached by a woman who was faced with headache after headache of medical and financial issues, and Kjirstin decided to take her on as a client. This formerly exhausted and desperate client was able to save thousands of dollars with Kjirstin’s help. “She made me a handmade Christmas ornament that I cherish and will always have on my tree as a reminder of the difference I can make in people’s lives,” Kjirstin reflects. “It’s very rewarding when I work with someone—just doing what I do—and to have them well up in tears of gratitude on how I helped them.”
Working as a health insurance broker is not just a job for Kjirstin; it’s personal. Kjirstin's services are also completely free for her clients. She looks at what a person currently has and does a review for them; if the client is already in a good spot with their insurance, she won't change the policy just to get a sale. So if you are considering new insurance, now is the time to give Kjirstin a call!
