“Jason helped us secure health insurance for our start up. He was incredibly helpful every step of the way. The customer service was top notch. He met with each of our employees and discussed which plan would be the best fit for their specific needs. He was extremely knowledge about the different options and when he didn’t know the answer to something he would research it and get right back to us. Jason held our hand through every step of the process. He did a great job.” December 8, 2009

Jason helped me go through the process of getting an individual health insurance plan (my default option would have been to take COBRA, which was way more expensive). He is really, really quick with emails and answering any questions you have while you're filling out your application. I also talked to International ProInsurance Services the day before talking to him, but I decided that I'd rely on Jason.

If you're thinking about contacting him, try calling the number first and he'll set up a meeting for you.

Jason Andrew at Stone Meadow worked with me to find me quality, affordable health insurance. My COBRA was outragous - a work contact had used Jason to find coverage for her and her family, and recommended him. Jason was professional, thorough and focused - and found me a better plan quickly and with no hassles.

I would turn to Jason again for any insurance needs.

If you need to get an individual health insurance policy or one for your small business, go through Stone Meadow Benefits. As I transitioned out of Cal-COBRA coverage, Jason helped me evaluate the various insurance providers and plan structures (PPO, HSA, etc.) and guided me through the individual application process. He is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly responsive. I ended up with a policy that cost less than Cal-COBRA had with the same coverage! You won't find a better health insurance broker than Jason!!!

I am big fan of Jason. He had spoke at an ASCCA meeting about health insurance and he knew the answer to everything that I threw at him. Needless to say, I followed back up around renewal time.

Jason and Brian spent came into the my shop to discuss all the health insurance options with me and my employees. Very professional, prompt, good follow up after the service has began.

I have already recommended him for health insurance and benefits in the to a few local companies in San Carlos and Redwood City.

I've been working with the fella's at Stone Meadow for a few months now. We're semi-difficult to work with as we change our minds frequently, we're a startup and constantly bringing people on, letting them go.. etc

Jason and the team at Stone Meadow have been VERY accomodating and responsive.. its 7:40pm on a Tuesday and I'm making changes to our Dental Plan via email.

I work via Email and I work long/random hours and its important to have someone who is available via email and extremely responsive.

Very excited to continue growing our business and utilizing Stone Meadows services!

They also walked us through setting up our HSA Accounts, explaining all the differences in our Bennefits packages and were very patient.. this was our first go at this and they made it VERY smooth!

Jason Andrew at Stone Meadow is the best individual and group health insurance specialist that I know. I asked Jason to quote my company for our health coverage. We did not have to wait long to meet, and he not only took the time to work through what we really want to offer, he expertly eliminated all of the confusing options that do not fit us. We ended up with several good, affordable choices. I highly recommend him if you are a small-to-midsized employer looking to lower the cost of your coverage, or an individual who currently has COBRA benefits.

Jason did a great job finding traveler's health insurance plan which would cover my 76 y/o Mom-in-law. Very happy with his recommendation.

I am not easy to please, and admit that fully. So when I say Stone Meadow Benefits & Ins Assoc. are good, I mean it. I work as an onsite vendor for a very high profile, world-renowned international company headquartered in Mountain View, and am in a position to refer clients to SMB frequently. I have no reservations in doing so, and feel so fortunate to be able to refer with such ease and confidence. It's a pleasure knowing without a doubt that the treasured and highly-valued clients I refer will be taken care of.

Jason Andrew was fantastic at helping me replace my health insurance carrier. He and his staff patiently (and thoroughly!) explained the kinds of plans options, issues, and so on. I'd tried to find some of his information at online-only sites, but that pales in comparison to the information you can get from someone in-the-know. Save yourself some time, and contact Jason for your health insurance needs.

Small business owners are so disadvantaged when it comes to health benefits. They want to cover their employees but the costs can be so prohibitive.

Stone Meadow Benefits offers great insight on thinking outside of the box and making it affordable. This creates a higher retention of employees as you add value to the compensation packages, while keeping it cost effective. I have not only used them for our own employees, but I have referred them to some of my most valued clients.

It is such a great experience when that client calls to personally thank you for putting them in contact with Jason Andrew and his team.

They are a true asset to every small, medium and large client and I do not hesitate to recommend them for service and value.

Jason was of great help to me when I needed to find an individual medical insurance plan when my COBRA ran out. He took the time to meet me in person, discuss what my needs were in terms of cost and coverage, and helped me through the application process. It took the worry out of getting coverage. Jason and his team followed my application through to completion and I got the coverage I needed. Jason was recommended to me by a colleague, and I would certainly recommend him to others.

Thank you, Jason! I had virtually no insurance until now - a policy that covered only Major Medical, with a huge Out-of-pocket / Deductible and with a very large premium. Jason guided me through the maze of insurers and programs to find a program that will take care of my need for a manageable cost. I just got the approval today and am thrilled. Thanks again, Jason... for your patience, knowledge and professionalism.

Based on a recommendation, I contacted Jason Andrew for my health insurance needs. He returned my phone call immediately, and I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional.

Throughout the whole process, Jason was easily accessible and was always so patient with my million questions. He walked me through the whole daunting process and we now have a plan that fits out needs. I can't recommend Jason enough! I interviewed a few other brokers and Jason was by far the very best. I will always use Jason for my insurance needs.

I had a very similar situation, and paid an arm and a leg for COBRA. I used an insurance broker that got me better benefits and it cost 50% of COBRA. In fact, we saved so much last year on health insurance that we bought a new laptop!

Here is the name of a young dad who is fabulous at finding great family plans. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the options, and is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. He impresses me with his honest and straightforward nature.

Here is his contact info, and I am copying him on this email so that he knows you might call him and what you are looking for. Or, if you would like, he can contact you at your convenience.

I got Mr. Andrew's name from this list, and I wanted to give a hearty vote of recommendation for him. Thanks to the original recommending parent! We have Kaiser insurance through my husband's job, but I have so far been a bit dissatisfied with the experience. While we have had good care for serious things or specialists, the routine office visits are challenging for me.

I am self-employed and wanted to investigate other options for myself and my kids. After crunching numbers with me, Mr. Andrew was refreshingly honest in his opinion, and actually recommend that we consider not purchasing secondary insurance at this time given his understanding of our needs and cost-effectiveness. Who ever heard of an insurance broker recommending a client to NOT purchase insurance?

I thought this was a real demonstration of high integrity and professionalism!!! Instead, he sent me a web tool to use that would help us determine costs-of-services in the area so that we could assess potential out-of-pocket expenses, should we ever need it. How cool is that? So, if you need a great health insurance broker, I would highly recommend giving him a call :)

PAMP (Parents Club of Palo Alto/Menlo Park)

Dear Mr. Andrew,

I got your contact information from the PAMP Parents Club, where your health insurance services came highly recommended from members.

I got your name and contact information from the PAMP (Palo Alto - Menlo Park Parents) forum where you were highly recommended by several local parents.

Stanford Alumni Group -

question posed...

We have a non-profit organization that I work for interested in starting an employee health care plan as soon as possible. I am interested in finding an insurance broker to help us, preferably one experienced in setting up plans for non-profts. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good broker?

response...

I have a recommendation for an outstanding, honest, knowledgeable, well-regarded health insurance broker. He has extensive experience with nonprofits, and can help save you $$. You meet this man and you think "integrity."

Large Bay Area Non Profit Organization -

We are going into out third year working with Jason Andrew of Stone Meadow Benefits & Insurance Associates. When he first began working with us I was immediately impressed that he was able to find life/disability insurance for us that not only provided better coverage, but saved us almost $100,000 form the previous year. In addition, he agreed with my interest in looking for creative ways to structure our entire health benefits program so as to maintain or improve what we offered our employees while maintaining or lessening overall costs to the organization and our employees. During the first year he was able to obtain insurance that did, in fact improve the quality of the coverage while lessening our per person cost. In addition, we introduced a variety of health education programs to help our employees take better control of their health.

This year (2009-2010), after about a year of careful training and introduction we are planning to offer a Health Savings Account option. Because of the cost savings we are able to allow employees to choose an HMO, a PPO and an HSA and fund each HSA participants account very generously.

All in all, the ideas he has brought to us have been both financially advantageous and benefit-rich. He provides excellent service after the initial sale and we are in constant touch regarding our programs. I have always believed that just about all brokers get quotes from a large number of insurers to present to their clients. However, the difference is in the service they provide after implementing an insurance plan. I have received excellent service from this firm and enthusiastically recommend them to other non profit or for profit organizations.
