What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews praise named agents like Brock, Preena, and Julian for honesty, patience, and deep knowledge; one reviewer switched policies in a day. One-star reviews cite slow claims, unexplained account charges, and denied medical coverage, with some calling the company fraudulent. The 67/33 split between strong praise and sharp complaints reflects inconsistency across locations and personnel.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
