When someone becomes licensed as a health insurance agent, they have a choice to make - how they want to be contracted. One option is captive. Captive agents work for a specific insurance company and can only sell for that one company. Another option is contracting through an agency. This allows the agent to be considered a broker; they are contracted with several insurance companies. From the agency, there are 2 directions. An agent can be an LOA, licensed only agent, which means they are an employee of the agency, they are not their own boss, and they are selling for an independent agent. An independent agent is contracted through an agency, but ultimately is their own boss/ business owner. Yes, an independent agent can receive support from the agency, but ultimately is responsible for everything in their business. That being said, independent agents will have their own business name.
Rhianna Straker is an independent agent/broker, signed contracts are through Owen Insurance Group, and created Surefire Medical Protection to represent her business.
