ABOUT ME

Your Trusted Partners

Hi, I’m Jennifer, founder of Next Step Benefits, insurance guide, mom of two, and big believer that health coverage doesn’t have to be confusing. After 16 years in banking and a start in employee benefits, I found my calling helping real people—like you—navigate Medicare and Marketplace plans with clarity and confidence. I’m based in Eastern Oregon, but I work with clients across the region, bringing honest advice, straightforward answers, and a little humor when it’s needed most. If you’re looking for someone who’ll stick with you long after the paperwork is done, you’re in the right place.

Rooted in Eastern Oregon, Helping Clients Near and Far

While Next Step Benefits is proudly based in Eastern Oregon, I work with individuals, families, and small businesses across a wide range of states—including Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Whether you're just down the road or a few time zones away, you’ll get the same honest guidance, clear explanations, and ongoing support. From Medicare to Marketplace coverage, I’m here to help—wherever you call home.

Why Use a Broker?

I stay current on health insurance options in Arizona, California, Texas, and other states. From provider networks to benefits and prescription drug coverage, my knowledge helps you make confident choices and gives you an edge in selecting the right plan.

I’ll walk you through the enrollment process step by step, making sure forms are completed accurately and any required documents are gathered. My goal is to make enrollment smooth and stress-free. Best of all—this service is always complimentary, with no cost to you.

Ongoing Support

My commitment doesn’t end once you enroll. If issues arise, I’ll be there to answer questions, advocate for you, and work with your provider or carrier to resolve problems. You’ll always have support and never be left to handle insurance challenges alone.

Education

I believe in more than just finding you a plan—I want you to feel confident about your choices. I take the time to explain your options in clear, easy-to-understand terms, so you not only know what you’re choosing but also why it works best for you.
