Our Story

Medicare help with the strength of an independent local agency.

Senior Health MN is a division of North Central Insurance Agency created to focus specifically on the questions people have about Medicare insurance. That relationship gives clients the personal attention of a Medicare-focused resource along with the experience, carrier relationships, and service capabilities of an established independent insurance agency.

1

Education before decisions

We begin by explaining how Medicare works in plain English so you understand the choices before comparing coverage.

2

Personalized guidance

Recommendations should reflect your doctors, prescriptions, budget, lifestyle, travel needs, and existing benefits.

3

Support after enrollment

Medicare plans and personal needs can change. We remain available for questions, annual reviews, and ongoing service.

Meet Ben Bauman

More than three decades of insurance experience.

Ben Bauman has worked in insurance since 1992. He began his career with a large life insurance company, where he learned the procedures and processes of the insurance industry.

After six years, Ben joined North Central Insurance Agency in a customer service role because he wanted to understand how an independent agency could serve clients more effectively.

In July 2001, an ownership opportunity became available. Ben purchased the agency and began expanding its insurance companies, product lines, and broker relationships to create more ways to serve clients.

His leadership philosophy is grounded in doing the right thing, offering competitive products, and matching appropriate coverage to each person's individual needs.

“Do the right thing, explain the options clearly, and help each client find appropriate coverage for their individual situation.”

Why Clients Trust Us

A practical, personal approach to Medicare.

Medicare is not one-size-fits-all. Our role is to help you understand how the pieces work together and make a decision that fits your situation.

Independent perspective

Access to multiple insurance companies can create more opportunities to compare benefits, costs, networks, and coverage.

Clear explanations

We explain Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Part D, enrollment timing, and other considerations without unnecessary jargon.

Local accountability

Senior Health MN serves Minnesota communities with a local office, local phone support, and a commitment to long-term relationships.

Veterans and TRICARE guidance

Veterans and military retirees often need to understand how Medicare works alongside VA benefits or TRICARE for Life.

Annual coverage reviews

Plans can change from year to year. We help clients review Annual Notices of Change and consider whether coverage still fits.

Service beyond the sale

Questions do not stop after enrollment. We remain available to help clients understand their coverage and next steps.
