About Carene
I started Cougill Health & Benefits because I believe people deserve to truly understand their options — not just check a box during open enrollment and hope for the best.
When employees understand their benefits, they value them more. When individuals understand their Medicare options, they make decisions they won't regret for years. That's what I'm here for.
As an independent broker, I work for you — not any single insurance company. I shop across multiple carriers to find what genuinely fits your needs and budget. And I'm always just a phone call away when questions come up.
Yes — my services are always free to you. As a licensed broker, I'm compensated directly by the insurance carriers when you enroll in a plan. That means I can shop the market, compare your options, and guide you through the entire process at absolutely no cost to you.
And because I'm independent — not tied to any single carrier — I have every reason to find the plan that's actually the best fit for your needs and budget. Not the one with the biggest commission check.
