Our mission is to help you find the best current insurance options available. We will monitor how your options, or needs may change as new insurance legislation is implemented. Our primary aim in this economy is cost-containment and compliance, while continuing to provide ample benefits. We take a proactive approach to health management and wellness programs for our clients and feel this can be an important part of cost containment.
New government regulations continue to change the health care industry. Employers need to team up with a brokerage that understands, and is actively engaged in the changing landscape of group and individual benefits. We are that brokerage, and want to be your partner in these challenging times! We are constantly monitoring the ongoing changes to the health care system on your behalf. We will share with you what we learn, and offer suggestions on how you can best take advantage of those changes. Please take a look at the “News/Compliance” section of our site for helpful updates.
Past and present clients range from restaurant chains, industry management companies, medical & practices, professional services groups, country clubs, manufacturing, non-profits, and individuals seeking their own individual health coverage. IDSI is a proud member of the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association, and works closely with new and used vehicle franchises statewide.
