Why smaller is better.

Star Benefit Associates is a unique FMO/MGA. We are not a big National Marketer. Founded with a focus on Small Group products in 1987, we built a reputation as a “Servicing” entity and expanded our network of independent agents to more than 500 in the state…by word of mouth.

Star Benefit was the ONLY marketing entity asked to partner with a local health plan in 2002 to launch the first MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PPO in the state of Indiana as a pilot program for CMS. We educated SHIP offices, recruited agents, advised on plan design. When it comes to Medicare Advantage Programs, Star Benefit has a long history of experience and expertise, which greatly enhances our value to YOU. Because we started in the Group market, we are also uniquely positioned to understand and provide guidance to our agents on the confusing rules for your clients working past 65. We know Medicare Secondary Payer rules, Election Periods, how Medicare interfaces with COBRA and HIPPA. This knowledge and experience is what sets us apart from other larger Marketing Firms. Being smaller allows us to be more focused, more specialized, better able to serve YOU our agent, without sacrificing access to top commissions, contracts and carriers. See our testimonials.
