Hello and thank you for stopping in to our blog. Our intentions are to provide up to date information in the insurance industry for group, self-employed, individual and family insurance products and services.
My name is Shawn Martin and I am a Boomer as defined by age, married with 2 daughters just recently graduated from college. I will be posting updates on insurance trends and very specific topics and resources for your review. Also since I have a bit of experience in technology in a past life ( ck out my Linkedin profile, link on my website, www.bctbenefits.com), I will be sharing ideas and technology tools that may be of value to you personally and for your business.
Guest articles will provided by industry professionals and others who may fit the nature of this blog.
Guests such as Mark Everest, President and CEO of “Occupational Athletics” and Sam Bishop, President and Founder of Connected Web Solutions who has helped with my website and other web related issues like SEO, Search Engine Optimization techniques and social media implementation.
Big news in the Central PA area is United Health Care has added Hershey Medical Hospital and Doctors to their network of providers. This helps the area with another major competitor for your group and individual health insurance options. COMPETITION–the more options you have the better.
So long for now, be back at you soon with information of the 2010 HSA guidelines.
Also we will be having some fun with healthy and not so healthy recipes.
We will also be posting articles on Health Care reform to help keep you up to date on this critical issue.
Thanks for stopping in–our search for pertinent information for this blog has begun in earnest. We anticipate updating a least once a week maybe more.
