"We built our companies over the last three decades on a philosophy of delivering service of unequalled excellence," states John M. Word III, co-founder of The Word & Brown Companies, "that translates into a commitment to help people with varying needs find the best possible insurance programs at the best possible prices."

"With literally hundreds of options available, it can be confusing for people to find the best insurance for themselves and their families," added Edward J. "Rusty" Brown, Jr., co-founder of The Word & Brown Companies, "so we decided to develop an online program that would make it easy for anyone to review, compare and apply for the plan that meets their specific needs at prices they can afford."

HealthCompare has Benefit Advisors available to answer any questions so individuals can feel confident that the plan they are buying is the right one for them and their families.
