About Us

Shane & Associates specializes in the thorough and precise practice of assuring businesses and individuals that they are insured at optimum conditions relative to coverage and pricing for their specific needs and priorities.  In this day and age, benefits and retirement planning consulting are substantially aided by numerous dynamic tools and resources that assist us in not only providing unique web-centric employee access portals but also permit us, for example,  to leverage the benefits of fundamentally sound wellness programs in reducing premium hikes below “trend”---the staggering annual increases that carriers like to visit upon their insureds each year at open enrollment.  Metrics and informed advocacy go a long way in leveling the playing field for employers previously at the mercy of nonresponsive carriers.

It’s part science and part art, but it’s always a battle.  And no firm does a better job of representing their client, be it a business with two hundred and fifty employees, or a single mother in need of coverage under Covered California or a retiree making confusing Medicare Part “D” (pharmacy provider) decisions.
