Candace, my broker, went beyond above and beyond to help me. She made the miserable and convoluted process of find health insurance on the Marketplace/Exchange/Whatever bearable. Candace found excellent and affordable plans for my husband and son. Highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kelly Cassidy was extremely helpful through the entire process. She asked all the right questions to determine the all of my insurance options. She thoroughly explained them, answered all of my questions, and assisted me through the entire process. Kelly is very professional, patient and kind. I recommend Kelly Cassidy for any insurance needs.

We are extremely pleased with Chris Cooper and Kelly at K&B financial. When I originally was looking for individual health insurance in May 2017 I talked with Kelly who knew the policies extremely well and answered all my complex questions over the course of a 50 minute phone call. She arranged for us to meet with Chris Cooper at our house. Chris has been magnificent in setting us up first with individual policies and now addressing our Medicare needs as well. Chris is very knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely punctual. He returned phone calls and emails quickly. He followed through on everything just as he said he would and we were delighted with the Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage we have received. My experiences with this firm have all been very positive and I have found the people to be capable, trustworthy, and personable experts in their field!

Our friend recommended Candace Lawson (847-431-1374) at K & B Financial and she was amazing. Her professionalism and knowledge was so very helpful and appreciated. She was always available to take our calls, answer questions and provided excellent guidance. She helped us decide on secondary medical coverage, prescription coverage and also dental and vision. She reviewed all the medication we were currently taking and found a prescription plan that worked for us. She helped us enroll in Medicare and BC/BS.. We couldn't have done this without her.

I went to Angie's List and saw some good reviews on them about the particular people that I was going to deal with. They were very helpful in signing me up. The agent I dealt with was Chris Cooper. He spent a lot of time with us and explained everything. He is going to be handling our Medicare sign up too when we need that. The price is tricky because they are brokers and the consumer pays nothing for that. In general, the price is outrageous, but it's not their fault. I thought the service was outstanding. The way they answered a lot of questions and discussed things to be thinking about. I had done a lot of research, but I wanted a second opinion basically and so I knew a lot of answers to their questions. They were very good. I called up and spent an hour with a person without any advance notice right then and there. Then, someone came out to my house and spent another hour so it was very good.

A few years ago, I purchased a long term health policy from Jeanne Valish. I am giving her 5 stars because she is not only very knowledgeable and professional, but a pure pleasure to work with. When she promises to do something, answer a question, or find out information she doesn't have at hand, you can be sure she will return your call promptly and accomplish whatever needs to be done in a timely manner. I never met anyone more efficient and trustworthy than Jeanne, and I was an Allstate agent for 15 years. Give her a call! You will be completely satisfied and delighted that did.

It went great and I would recommend and K&B Financial to everyone. Mr. Johnnic took the time to go over all the options available to us and found a plan that suited us based on our medical needs and our budget---NO pressure at all. We felt like his concern was truly towards what was best for us but let us make the decision. He is a VERY honest man as is the company he works for, K&B Financial, Inc. Mr. Johnnic made us feel like we were discussing our needs with family---very personable and professional. Contact him at (815) 693-9008---you won't regret it.

After I made my call to K&B Financial,I was told I would be getting a call back soon.Well it wasn't to long that day a call did come through to me and it was the agent that handles supplement insurance policies, I knew nothing about this young lady other than she knew what I was in the market for,after talking to her and giving her my information,the appointment was set up in a short time and she said no need to come to the office,I will stop by at the house if that works for you.After that call,I said this is great I don't even have to leave the house,she will be here in a day or so ,no rush,I knew something was good about this gal,she seemed to an have an answer to all my questions.Long story short,she was ever so pleasant to work with,and told me this is what I need and this is what I don't need,after looking at all this information,I was sold on this persons expertise,out of the many plans that are available,I had to choose the one that fit are needs,as for myself,I was in good shape,but for my wife that has been ill for some years she needed the top plan for part B and a drug plan,yes it was a little expensive,but I got what I was paying for.This all took place over 10 years ago,my agent Jeanne Valesh took control of my insurance, to this day I can say there is no one better out there in my opinion,what a relief that I found her at K&B Financial,the premiums were just a bit high,but a little cheaper than I was paying in at my employment.My wife has recently passed away after a long battle with many health issues,not to go into at this point,I could not even add up the bills that were coming in all those years,in the thousands,beyond what you can think,and all it cost me was my monthly premiums to Medicare and to Blue Cross Blue Shield,if it wasn't for Mrs Valesh taking care of my insurance needs at the beginning I would have sold our home long ago to pay for all the medical attention she needed,being on dialysis for 2 years was just an unbelievable cost,not to mention the many hospital stays she had through the years,this plan is just what I wanted,every time she got out of the hospital I had no worries about the bills coming to my house,all that did come were explanation of benefits paid,and in the corner,was what I wanted to see,This Is Not A Bill,Medicare has paid this amount and Blue Cross will be billed for the remainder,bad enough I had all the other worries of her being in and out of the hospital all those years,it wasn't easy.So,I am not one for giving reviews,but in this case the health issues my wife had,having this plan was a giant relief,and an agent that knows what is going on,K&B Financial should be proud to have an agent like Mrs.Valesh out there,she takes care of her clients,and you can take that to the bank.........

I was in need of a plan for Medicare as a back up for the co pays and other miscellaneous services that Medicare would not cover fully.After a long look at the many other insurance plans out there,I wisely chose Blue Cross Blue Shield Of Illinois through K&B Financial Inc.as my supplement part B and a drug plan,my wife's medications were high in costs.

The first year we contacted K&B Financial our call was responded to be Candace Lawson who helped us through the myriad of options and features that caused us to need professional guidance. We were very pleased with her assistance and have continued to consult with her each year as health plans change annually. Decisions on matters of health insurance are important to our health and finances and deserve expert and detailed assistance to sort through the fine points of coverage. We feel very fortunate to have found high quality professional advice.
Description of Work
In the first year of the Affordable Care Act and each year since then we needed to find a good health insurance plan for my husband through the exchange even though we did not qualify for a subsidy. We used the ACA website but had difficulty narrowing the choices among various features and details. We contacted K&B Financial to get help sorting through the details so we could make the best possible choice each year given our budget, the costs, and benefits of the various plans.

Wonderful. Candace Lawson, our K & B representative, has been a trusted resource since for over eight (8) years. She was referred to me in 2009 by a co-worker. Candace helped me understand my policy options, expenses, and how the supplemental insurance police works. Since then, Candace has done the same for my husband, sister and friends. She is a terrific resource for any question that arises. Always responds promptly and explains questions simply. We LOVE Candace!
