A wedding, a new baby, a job change, or a 65th birthday can all arrive in a single year, and each one can quietly change what a family needs from its health coverage. For insurance agent Michael Starr of HealthMarkets, helping clients through those moments is just as important as helping them choose a plan in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people don\u2019t realize that certain life events can open the door to new coverage outside the usual enrollment season. Getting married, having or adopting a child, or losing coverage through a job may allow a family to make changes during a special enrollment period. These windows don\u2019t stay open long, so having someone to call who already knows the family\u2019s situation can save time and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/11\/1200x800px-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24206\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning 65 brings its own set of decisions. Medicare comes with timelines, options, and add-ons that can feel overwhelming at first. Michael helps clients consider their choices well in advance so they can step into this new stage feeling prepared rather than rushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some changes are smaller but still matter. A couple whose children have moved out may want to rethink their dental and vision plans. A parent may decide it\u2019s time to add life insurance for extra peace of mind. A local business owner hiring the first few employees may start exploring group coverage. In each case, Michael reviews what the client already has and suggests updates that align with their current budget and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That ongoing relationship is what makes working with a local agent so valuable. Instead of starting from scratch each time, clients have a familiar face who knows their story and can pick up right where they left off. For families in Lebanon, the seasons of life will keep changing. Thanks to Michael Starr, their coverage can change right along with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact Michael Starr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(615) 830-4875<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthmarkets.com\/local-health-insurance-agent\/michaelstarr\"><strong>https:\/\/www.healthmarkets.com\/local-health-insurance-agent\/michaelstarr<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is sponsored content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life rarely follows a script.
