My husband and I appreciate the personal attention given to our insurance needs from Greg and Barbara.

We are extremely pleased with their service and hope to return for many years to come!

Linda M-

IPA offers excellent service and assistance. Navigating the Medicare quagmire is very difficult and understanding the many options available is almost impossible. The great people at IPA really helped us find the right choice for our budget, age and circumstances. It could have cost much more if we had not had this advice. I would definitely contact them prior to beginning your Medicare journey or for any other insurance information, questions or concerns. They are fantastic!!!!

“IPA was wonderful to work with when the customer reps at Connect Colorado didn’t seem to understand my situation. Nikki at IPA was able to get me properly setup for insurance following a life changing event. IPA have been very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to understanding the complexities of the Marketplace.”
