DOES YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE PAY YOU BACK?

Our Texas Hill Country partner Penn Mallery helps Kerrville residents find custom PPO plans with nationwide networks, plus optional dental and vision coverage, all designed to fit your needs.

In fact, he handles our health insurance. And here's one of the coolest parts...

When you have a covered service like doc visit or procedure, the plans pay a benefit amount and the PPO provider discount.

So, if those are greater than services rendered policy holder receives the difference as a check in the mail! A few bucks back here and there can make a big difference!

Remember, health insurance doesn’t have to be a one-size-fits-all decision. Give Penn a call and see if he can customize a plan that works for your situation!
