Term life
Coverage for the years your family depends on your paycheck, usually 10, 20 or 30 years. Term is usually the least expensive way to buy a large amount of coverage, and I can size it to your mortgage so the house stays paid for.

Minnesota specifically
What’s different about insurance in Minnesota
Minnesota's health insurance market revolves around a handful of large health systems in the Twin Cities and Rochester, so when you compare plans here, the network matters more than the premium. Minnesota also has its own estate tax, with a threshold below the federal one. If you're buying permanent coverage as part of an estate plan, raise that with a tax advisor.
Insurance is regulated state by state. Carriers file different products in different places, health networks are drawn county by county, and licensing and consumer protection in Minnesota sit with the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
Coverage in Minnesota
What I can help with in Minnesota
Life, health and Medicare, from one agent. You won’t get handed off to a different department for each one.
Whole life
Coverage for your whole life, with a premium that never goes up and cash value the insurance company guarantees. A good fit when you want something permanent and predictable.
Final expense
A smaller policy that pays for a funeral and final bills, so your kids aren't left covering them. Many plans skip the medical exam, and the premium is set to fit a fixed income.
IUL and universal life
Permanent life insurance with flexible premiums and index-linked interest credits. Understand the funding, costs and risks before choosing a policy.
Annuities
A way to turn savings into steady retirement income without riding the stock market. Before you commit, I'll walk you through the surrender period, the fees, and when you can get to your money.
Health insurance
Individual and family plans for the self-employed, early retirees and anyone between jobs. I check the networks so your doctors are in the plan you pick.
Medicare and Medicaid in Minnesota
Turning 65, retiring, or helping a parent sort it out? I’ll explain how Parts A, B, C and D fit together, compare Medicare Supplement with Medicare Advantage, and check Part D plans against the prescriptions you take.
If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, I can explain how dual-eligible coverage works and what it means for you. Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 to December 7.

Minnesota questions
Questions people in Minnesota ask me
Is Leif Allison licensed in Minnesota?
Yes. I'm licensed in Minnesota for life and health insurance, National Producer Number 21477755. I'm independent, so I shop 30 top A+ rated carriers instead of selling for one. Licensing in Minnesota is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and you can look up any agent's license with them or through NIPR.
What does it cost to work with an agent in Minnesota?
Nothing. Quotes and advice are free. The insurance company pays my commission when a policy is issued, and your premium is the same whether you buy through me or directly.
Which parts of Minnesota do you serve?
All of Minnesota, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Bloomington and Plymouth and the areas around them. Most conversations happen by phone or video, so where you live in the state doesn't limit your options. For health and Medicare plans your county decides which plans exist, and I check that first.
Do I need a medical exam to get life insurance in Minnesota?
Often not. Several carriers approve some applicants based on the application and database checks, with no exam. It depends on your age, the coverage amount and your health history, and I'll tell you up front which route fits.
Can you help with Medicare in Minnesota?
Yes. I can explain how Parts A, B, C and D work together and compare Medicare Supplement with Medicare Advantage for your county. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.
You can verify my license on the NIPR producer lookup using NPN 21477755.
