    Quote from Louis J.

    You actually listened to my requests and looked for the my best options based upon those requests. Rep was courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

    Louis J.
    I have been a customer for years and I have never had an issue. Keep up the good work.

    Great customer service! When you have a claim, Bell staff always is very helpful and they don’t tell you to call an 800 number! It is taken care of immediately!

    Quote from Sarah N.

    You were highly recommended by our lender and other local friends. Your customer service was great from the very beginning. Friendly and very easy to work with. Worked well with our lender and made the whole process go smoothly and was presented to us in a way we easily understood what was needed from us.

    Legal Alert: Enforcement of the HIPAA Reproductive Health Care Privacy Rule Vacated Nationwide

    On June 18, 2025, a federal district court in Texas vacated a significant portion of the HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy (“Final Rule”), which was implemented on April 24, 2024, on a nationwide basis. The Final Rule, which was implemented in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (effectively overturning Roe v. Wade), was intended to protect the ability of individuals to receive reproductive health care when the care is provided lawfully under the circumstances without risk of an individual’s identity or health information being disclosed for purposes of state criminal, civil or administrative investigations (or for imposing liability related to lawfully providing or obtaining reproductive healthcare).
