If you are looking for an insurance agency you can trust, look no further than Hettler Insurance. Meghan and the team are refreshingly professional and easy to work with. I was with my previous insurance agency for two... years, but they were no match for Meghan at Hettler. She was able to find the same policy/coverage with a significantly lower premium (with the potential for even more savings after 90 days). Every one of the staff is courteous, attentive, and helpful. Thanks Meghan and everyone at Hettler!read more

A friend recommended Hettler Insurance Agency for my family’s health insurance last year. As new immigrants, we got totally lost with what we can choose and how. Mr. Hettler has been so patient to us with full... explanation of the policies and all the guidance we need. We are very thankful to him with the insurance package we get. This is the company where the staff are very friendly and they always know what the customers need.read more

Ron Hettler and his staff are the best. I have used Ron for personal and business insurance for 20+ years, with no regrets. Recently he helped me sign up for Medicare supplemental insurance. We spent a good hour going... over the endless inane paperwork, even though I know his compensation for this is next to nothing. Good people, good insurance.read more

Two Texans with the same long-term care benefit can pay very different premiums for long-term care insurance in Texas. The gap almost always comes down to when they applied, how healthy they were, and how the policy was built. Ron Hettler, CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor) explains what to check before you sign:WHAT MOVES YOUR PREMIUM• Your age and health on the day you apply• Daily or monthly benefit amount• Benefit period (how many years it pays)• Elimination period (the waiting period before benefits start)• Inflation protectionASK BEFORE YOU BUY• What is this carrier's 10-year rate-increase history in Texas?• Is this quote all-inclusive, or are fees added later?• Does it cover home care and assisted living, or only nursing facilities?• Is a nonforfeiture option included?KNOW THE GAPSMedicare doesn't pay for ongoing custodial care.

Lower monthly premiums, but more out-of-pocket cost before insurance shares the bill.THE UPSIDEHSA contributions, growth, and qualified withdrawals are tax-advantaged, unused funds roll over every year, and preventive care is typically covered before the deductible.THE CATCHA bad health year means a bigger bill up front. If you couldn't cover your full deductible tomorrow, a lower-deductible plan may serve you better.RUN THE THREE-NUMBER TESTExpected medical spend + premium savings + any employer HSA contribution.

The lowest premium isn't always the best homeowners coverage for Texas home insurance. Here's how Texas homeowners can compare quotes the right way:MATCH YOUR DWELLING LIMIT TO REBUILD COSTNot market value, and not your appraisal district number. Getting this wrong is how homeowners end up underinsured.CHECK YOUR WIND/HAIL DEDUCTIBLEA percentage deductible is calculated from your home's value, and it can mean a much bigger out-of-pocket bill after a hail storm than a flat deductible.KNOW YOUR ROOF TERMSDoes your roof settle at replacement cost or actual cash value? Roof age can change the answer.DON'T WAIT ON FLOODFlood is a separate policy, and NFIP coverage typically has a 30-day waiting period. Inland Texas homes flood too.DOCUMENT BEFORE THE STORMDated photos, receipts, and a room-by-room video inventory make claims faster and smoother.As an independent agency, we shop 30+ top-rated carriers side by side for you, with no extra fee.Get Better.
