Been using Selected Benefits services for over two years. The team is extremely knowledgable and aggressively proactive in not only finding the best options for healthcare available, but also in their maintenance of the client throughout the year if any changes should occur. Selected Benefits takes the hard work of navigating the confusing healthcare system out of your hands. They are truly an amazing team.

Contacted Steve, after recommendation from friend, as my Cobra coverage was coming to an end. Outlined the key doctors my wife and I needed in-network and had within 24 hours a selection of plan options that Steve was more than happy to discuss by phone, taking the time to discuss the nuances of each. Process was very simple and handled all by phone. Medical cards came within 5 working days so couldn't be happier. Steve was always available by email or phone and very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend him to anyone shopping the marketplace for insurance as he gave me guidance on federal assistance I was not aware of

I appreciate Steve Wendlandt and Selected Benefits help in finding me health insurance through the Marketplace, and then assisting me to transition to Medicare one year following my divorce. I was removed from my spouse's employer's insurance when we divorced at age 63. Being self-employed, myself, I did not know what to do for coverage that year. My attorney recommended I contact Steve Wendlandt. Steve managed to guide me through the Marketplace process and find me a more than reasonable rate on a policy which maintained me throughout age 64.
Then he recommended someone else associated with his Company who guided me step by step through enrolling in Medicare and all the supplemental policies I might need. I would recommend Steve Wendlandt and Selected Benefits to anyone seeking health insurance for themselves or their family. Rev. Dr. Gary McCormick

Have had a very good experience working with the Selected Benefits. The associate that I work with is a quick study. He knows the specific questions to ask to quickly point me in the right direction. Promptly returns phone calls. Gives very good tips for what to look for in government health care.
