My wife and I recently met with Karl and his team to discuss my wife's insurance needs as she goes on Medicare soon. ... Karl was well prepared to discuss our situation and answered all of our questions. While professionalism is what really matters, our time meeting with his team was enjoyable. A little less than a week later we realized we had forgotten to share some important information with him and his team, so I quickly sent an email sharing our failure, expressing our concern at how it might impact my wife's coverage. Karl wrote back quickly telling us not to worry and explained why our mistake would not hurt her coverage. We appreciate that kind of service! I heartily recommend Karl Steinlage and his team at Steinlage Insurance Agency and look forward to a long future of doing business with them.read more

After setting up appointment. I met with Karl, he seemed to me to know what he was doing. After reading about medicare... and all the stuff I received in the mail, seemed like it was coming 3 to 4 times a week. we talked about my plan i have , but i would pay around 85 per month so I didn't like that idea. and so he showed me other plans that were free. So i went with the free plan from AARP United healthcare complete. So if you need help with Medicare I would call Karl.read more
