Licensed Insurance Broker — Idaho & Oregon
Local, licensed, and genuinely invested in finding the right coverage for you and your family — not just selling you a policy.
About Me
I'm Andrea, a licensed insurance broker with the Hezeltine Insurance Team serving clients across Idaho and Oregon. I came to insurance because I believe everyone deserves honest guidance — not just a quote.
Before becoming a broker, I spent 26 years as a Judicial Assistant III with the State of Oregon, managing complex caseloads in juvenile dependency and adoption. That career taught me how to listen carefully, explain complicated things clearly, and advocate fiercely for people navigating difficult situations.
That's exactly what I bring to every insurance conversation. Whether you're shopping for your first health plan, preparing for retirement, or protecting your family's future — I'll help you understand your options and make a confident decision.
What I Offer
Individual and family health plans tailored to your budget and medical needs. I'll shop the market and explain your options in plain English — no jargon, no pressure.
Navigating Your Health Idaho or HealthCare.gov can be overwhelming. I specialize in ACA enrollment, tax credits (APTC), and Special Enrollment Periods so you don't leave money on the table.
From term policies to permanent life coverage, I'll help you find the right protection to give your loved ones peace of mind when it matters most.
Affordable plans designed to cover end-of-life costs so your family isn't left with unexpected financial burdens during an already difficult time.
Create a reliable income stream for retirement. I'll walk you through fixed, indexed, and other annuity options and help you decide what fits your retirement picture.
Preparing for the possibility of needing extended care is one of the most important steps you can take. I help you plan ahead before it becomes a crisis.
What Clients Say
Andrea took time to actually explain every plan option. She found us a health plan that covered everything we needed and saved us over $200 a month. We wouldn't have known without her.
I was so confused about the marketplace and tax credits. Andrea walked me through everything patiently and I finally feel confident I made the right choice for my family.
It's rare to find someone who's truly on your side. Andrea treated us like neighbors, not customers. She's earned our trust and our family's business for years to come.
Common Questions
No — working with me costs you nothing extra. I'm compensated by the insurance carriers, not by you. You get personalized expert guidance at no additional charge.
Idaho runs its own exchange called Your Health Idaho (YHI), while Oregon uses the federal marketplace HealthCare.gov. The available plans and carriers differ between states, which is why having a broker licensed in both is such an advantage if you live near the border.
Often yes. Life events like losing a job, getting married, having a baby, or moving can qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). Contact me and I'll help you determine if you qualify.
Advanced Premium Tax Credits (APTC) reduce your monthly premium based on your income and household size. Many people qualify for significant savings they don't know about. I'll help you estimate your credit and apply it correctly during enrollment.
The best time is in your 50s or early 60s, when premiums are more affordable and you're most likely to qualify health-wise. Waiting until you need it is too late — most policies require good health to purchase.
I serve clients throughout Idaho and Oregon and am licensed in both states. I can meet in person or by phone and video call.
