Joel Zimmerle
Licensed Insurance Broker

I was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. I'm a family man and the father of the two beautiful children above. They along with my lovely wife are my world! I'm nationally licensed and help clients all over the country, and I especially love serving my local community. After working in healthcare for years and seeing all the confusion patients have about their health insurance and Medicare, I realized I could help many more people in this role, thus Wellness Insurance Partners was born. I have a passion for helping others, which is what I love most about my job. I will work with you personally to determine your needs and budget, and then present you with options from which to make a well-informed decision. Best of all, my assistance comes at no cost to you, and you get me as your personal advocate.

Top 3 Reasons to Use a Health Insurance Broker (psst... We're free!)

In this video, I go over the top 3 reasons everyone should use an independent health insurance broker to shop for and enroll in their plans. This video is part of a series entitled “Health Insurance Basics,” where I go over some of the key terms, ideas, and plans that will help you make a well-informed decision for yourself and your family. If you need help enrolling, reach out to me. As an independent broker, I have no in-house products to push or quotas to meet. My only goal is to find the carrier that gives us the highest benefits for the lowest cost for your unique situation. My services are free to you.

WHY SHOULD I WORK WITH AN INDEPENDENT BROKER?

My services are free to you. While I am paid by the carriers, I truly work for you. Being independent, I have no in house products nor sales quotas to meet. My priority is getting the right coverage for every client, every time. Even if you already have a plan, I can work with you to ensure you have the best one for your situation. If it is, I will tell you to stay put, if not, rest assured I will find the one that is best for you.

WHY DO I NEED TO BUY INSURANCE?

Medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. Health insurance is probably the most money you will spend on something you hope to never have to use. However, because we do not know what will happen to us in the future, the only way to truly protect your health and finances is to have some form of health insurance in place.

HOW IS THIS FREE? WHAT'S THE CATCH?

Because health insurance is so confusing, insurance companies expect most people to use a broker to enroll in coverage. This means that the cost of working with a broker is already included in insurance premiums. So whether you use a broker to enroll or not, you are paying for our services.

WHY USE WELLNESS INSURANCE PARTNERS?

We offer insurance from over 50 carriers nationwide on both the public and private side. We are nationally licensed yet locally focused. There's no need to waste your time calling a 1-800 number or going on healthcare.gov and hope you’re enrolling in the right plan. You can be confident that by working with us, you will have access to every health insurance plan on the market, and that you will be guided with integrity in the right direction every time.
