BEDFORD — With Medicare open enrollment underway, Abraham Insurance Services LLC is a local resource for Lawrence County residents who want help understanding their coverage options, reviewing plan changes, and finding insurance that fits their needs.
The annual Medicare open enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, giving beneficiaries an opportunity to review their current coverage and make changes for 2027. Premiums, deductibles, prescription drug coverage, provider networks, and other benefits can change from year to year, making it important to understand what a plan offers before deciding whether to keep it.
Abraham Insurance Services, located at 1217 R St. in Bedford, offers a personal approach to insurance in an industry where customers increasingly may find themselves dealing with large call centers rather than a familiar local professional.
Owner Mike Parish, a Lawrence County native from Mitchell, has more than 35 years of experience in the insurance industry. He has operated the agency since 2018, and the business was formally established in 2019.
Parish works directly with customers, helping them navigate insurance terminology, understand their options, and make informed decisions. That local expertise can be especially valuable for Medicare beneficiaries who have questions about changing coverage, prescription drug plans, or whether their current plan will continue to meet their needs.
Parish joined WBIW’s Talk of the Town to discuss some upcoming changes in the Medicare landscape for 2027:
Medicare beneficiaries are encouraged to review their annual plan notices and compare available options before the Dec. 7 deadline. Checking prescription coverage, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and out-of-pocket costs can help prevent unexpected expenses in the coming year.
Medicare is just one part of the services offered by Abraham Insurance Services. The agency provides a broad range of coverage, including auto, homeowners, life, health, business, recreational vehicle, pet, and identity theft insurance.
The business also offers voluntary employee benefits for companies with fewer than 100 employees. Options include disability, life, dental and vision coverage, legal plans, identity theft protection, hospital indemnity, and pet insurance. The agency additionally assists seniors with Medicare enrollment and provides medical monitoring services for high-risk individuals at home.
Abraham Insurance Services has earned an A+ rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. Parish has emphasized personal service, accessibility, and building lasting relationships with customers as key parts of the agency’s approach.
For individuals and families trying to make sense of insurance choices, having a local professional available to answer questions can make the process less intimidating. Whether reviewing Medicare coverage, shopping for personal insurance, or exploring benefits for a small business, Abraham Insurance Services offers Lawrence County residents a place to start.
Abraham Insurance Services is located at 1217 R St. in Bedford and can be reached at 812-653-7306.
