I've posted this before.... but for anyone looking for insurance, I would heartily recommend working with: Beverly Ouellette Amherst Insurance 413-253-5555 800-228-8351 bouellette at nathanagencies.com She has access to all the plans that all the Chambers of Commerce offer: Health New England, Tufts, HPHC, Blue Cross, ConnectiCare. She will hand-hold you to help you make the right decision, and does not charge you any fees (she's reimbursed by the carriers as a broker). If you already belong to a Chamber, she can accept that membership and you won't have to join another group like MBA. Also, she's extremely knowledgeable about Mass. Health's Insurance Partnership, a state program that helps offset both employer and employees premiums. Jeanne: I would recommend her to be one of your panelists for the Oct. 25 program.
