Independent insurance agency · Downtown Cedar Rapids
Plain answers. Honest cover.
Oakmere Insurance Agency compares Medicare, health, life, home and car insurance side by side and explains every option in plain English, from a family-run office in Downtown Cedar Rapids. Every new client begins with a free review.
An independent agency
Advice without the sales pitch.
Because Oakmere is not tied to one insurer, its agents can say which plan fits, and which does not. Clients get the same agent every year, a review before each renewal, and someone to call when it is time to make a claim. Since 2009 that has meant more than 2,400 households helped.
How it works
Four steps to the right cover.
Oakmere quotes several insurers and shows the plans on one page: cost, cover, deductibles, doctors and drugs.

Medicare
Daniel sat with me for an hour and compared every Medicare plan my doctors take. I finally understand what I’m paying for.

Home and car bundle
Our home and car were with two different companies. Oakmere bundled them and our cover actually got better.
Does it cost anything to use an independent agent?
No. Oakmere is paid a commission by the insurance company you choose, so the review, the quote and the yearly check-in cost you nothing extra.
When can I sign up for Medicare?
Your Initial Enrollment Period runs for seven months: the three months before the month you turn 65, that month, and the three months after. Oakmere recommends starting about three months ahead.
Can I change my Medicare plan later?
Yes, during the Annual Enrollment Period, 15 October – 7 December, and in some other situations. Oakmere reviews your plan with you every autumn.
