I started with Barb because I had been fussing with my old personal lines carrier about their billing cycle. I sure wasn’t expecting the thoroughness of her presentation, and her genuine concern that we had adequate coverage for our situation. The cost was about the same, but the care so much better that we switched. With no pressure from the agency, we submitted our business insurance for review and they recommended some things that made very good sense, again at a reasonable price, so we switched that over. The office responds to our customer’s request to provide COI’s immediately and accurately. So, having done so well with all things insurance, when I lost my private health coverage, among many options, I checked with the agency about putting together a company plan, which we now offer to our employees. I can’t say enough about the genuine interest that this agency has in making sure we are balancing the cost of insurance vs our genuine need for protection. They’re pleasant, easy to work with, personable, and have our best interest at heart.

The Importance of Group Health Insurance, and What You Need to Know
Group health insurance is a type of healthcare coverage provided by employers or organizations to their employees or members. It offers several advantages and differs from individual health insurance in several key ways:
- Coverage for a Collective: Group health insurance covers a collective group of individuals, typically employees of a company, members of an organization, or members of a union. This type of coverage can also extend to the employees’ families.
- Employer or Organization Sponsorship: Group health insurance is sponsored and often subsidized by an employer or organization. Employers may pay a portion of the premium as an employment benefit, making it an attractive option for employees.
- Uniform Benefits: Group plans usually offer uniform benefits to all eligible members, which means that the same level of coverage is provided to everyone in the group. This can simplify the administration of the plan.
- Shared Premiums: The cost of group health insurance is typically shared between the employer or organization and the employees or members. This cost-sharing can make premiums more affordable for individuals.
- Enrollment Periods: Group health insurance plans often have specific enrollment periods when employees or members can sign up for coverage. These periods may occur when an individual is hired, during an annual open enrollment period, or in response to a qualifying life event.
- Pre-Existing Conditions: Group plans usually cannot deny coverage or charge higher premiums based on an individual’s pre-existing medical conditions. This is a significant advantage for individuals with prior health issues.
- Network of Providers: Group health insurance plans often have a network of preferred healthcare providers with whom the insurance company has negotiated contracts. Using in-network providers can result in lower out-of-pocket costs for members.
- Portability: Group health insurance is often portable to some extent, allowing employees to retain their coverage if they change jobs or leave the organization. However, they may need to continue to pay premiums independently under COBRA or similar arrangements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Group health insurance is subject to various regulatory requirements, depending on the jurisdiction. These regulations often govern areas like essential health benefits, preventive care, and coverage for dependents up to a certain age.
- Benefit Customization: Employers or organizations may offer multiple plan options within their group health insurance, allowing employees or members to select the plan that best suits their needs. These options may include variations in coverage levels, deductibles, and copayments.
- Tax Benefits: In some countries, contributions made by employers toward group health insurance premiums are tax-deductible, and benefits received by employees may also have favorable tax treatment.
Group health insurance is a valuable employee benefit that offers cost-effective access to healthcare services and can promote the overall well-being of individuals and their families. It plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining talent in the workplace, as well as in providing a sense of security and financial protection against unexpected medical expenses.

Kristine Shreves
Barb and the agents at the Luczkowski Agency are GREAT!! Whenever I have a question, I do not hesitate to call or send an email because I know they will get back to me with an answer. They are kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. Recently, I switched with another carrier associated with the Luczkowski Agency because Barb wanted to help bring my high insurance rates down. She knew that being a single parent with a college student was costly for me. I cannot say enough good things about this agency.
Melissa Eisel
We have been with Nationwide for almost 20 years now and wouldn’t think of switching to anyone else. We have been with Luczkowski Agency for a lot of that time and they take excellent care of us. We get great rates and they update them twice a year and give us savings anytime they are available. When other homes on our street got flooded, we were the only ones who actually got help from our Insurance Company! The only ones. I couldn’t believe the other companies didn’t do anything for their clients. They have gone out of their way to make life bearable when it has been hard and trials have come. We have used the car towing service repeatedly and they have always been there. We love Nationwide and think they are exceptional.

Daniel C.
Barb and her team are the best. Service and attention to detail assure me that I have the right coverage, no more or less than I need, and at the right price. I have homeowners, auto, and even my motorcycle insurance with the Luczkowski Agency.
I had an auto claim, repairs done at the shop I chose, and no hassles at all getting the work paid. The follow up was great, Barb called to be sure the work was done and I was happy.
I give Luczkowski Agency my highest rating!
