ABOUT CUSTOM BENEFIT PLANS

Custom Benefit Plans, Inc. (CBPI) is a team of health insurance, life insurance and annuities professionals dedicated to providing unparalleled service to clients, independent agents and affiliated agencies. 

 

Our Customers

We serve you and your family with unbiased advice and guidance concerning the types of policies that may help your specific situations. We also look at how to help you:

  • Manage risk. Do you have too little—or too much—insurance? How and where can your exposure to risk be offset where needed?
  • Scale your coverage. Your risk management needs will change as your life evolves. We can look at new, different, and alternative coverages to help protect you where you are now.
  • Prepare for the unexpected. We can help you assess risks that you may not have considered, such as lost income due to disability, loss of a primary wage earner, various types of business insurance, coverage for special needs family members, and much more.

We will monitor your insurance portfolio and we may make tactical suggestions on modifying coverage based on events in your life.

Our Agents

We assist with all your day-to-day challenges so that you can focus on the growth of your business. To ensure the success of our agents, CBPI provides access to the most cost-competitive products, useful tools and ongoing training, a wealth of industry news updates and insights, and a full staff dedicated to providing friendly and ongoing support.
