The same services apply wherever you live in McHenry County: new-to-Medicare guidance, plan comparisons, Part D reviews, annual check-ins, and enrollment support.

Coverage can vary by county.
Medicare Advantage and Part D plan networks and availability are often set at the county level, so what's available in McHenry County may differ from a neighboring county. We check current plan details for your specific address rather than assume they match a neighboring area.
Illinois SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program), through the Illinois Department on Aging, offers free and unbiased Medicare counseling at 1-800-252-8966. We're glad to be one source among several as you get your questions answered.
Questions Crystal Lake residents ask.
Does Almond Insurance work with clients in Crystal Lake?
Yes. We're based in Rockford and regularly work with Crystal Lake residents, whether that's an in-person meeting at our office or a call or video appointment.
Are Medicare plan options different in McHenry County?
Plan availability and pricing are set by ZIP code and carrier, so what's offered in McHenry County can differ from a neighboring county. We check current options for your specific address rather than assume they match anywhere else.
Is there a free, unbiased place to double-check Medicare information in Illinois?
Yes — Illinois SHIP (1-800-252-8966), run by the Illinois Department on Aging, offers free Medicare counseling independent of any insurance agency, including ours.
Crystal Lake is almost 50 miles from Rockford — is that too far for you to help?
Not at all. Distance doesn’t limit the guidance we can provide. We’re glad to work with Crystal Lake residents by phone, video, or an in-person visit at our Rockford office — whichever works best for you.
