Almond Insurance is based in Rockford, Illinois and serves clients throughout Kane County and Cook County, Illinois, including Elgin — about 45 miles from Rockford.

One office. A wide neighborhood.
Elgin sits a bit further out, about 45 miles from Rockford. A phone or video appointment covers the same ground as an in-person visit, and we're glad to schedule a trip to our Rockford office whenever it's worth it to you.
The same services apply wherever you live in Kane County and Cook County: new-to-Medicare guidance, plan comparisons, Part D reviews, annual check-ins, and enrollment support.

Coverage can vary by county.
Elgin spans Kane County and Cook County, and Medicare Advantage and Part D plan networks and availability are often set at the county level. That means two neighbors in Elgin can see different plan options depending on which county their address falls in. We check current plan details for your specific address and county rather than assume one applies to the whole city.
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 Elgin residents ask.
Does Almond Insurance work with clients in Elgin?
Yes. We're based in Rockford and regularly work with Elgin residents, whether that's an in-person meeting at our office or a call or video appointment.
Are Medicare plan options different across Elgin?
Elgin spans Kane County and Cook County, and plan availability and pricing are set by ZIP code and carrier rather than by city. Options can differ depending on which part of Elgin — and which county — your address falls in. We check current options for your specific address rather than assume either county applies to you.
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.
Elgin spans two counties — does that affect my Medicare plan options?
It can. Plan availability and pricing are set by ZIP code and carrier rather than by city, so options in the Kane County part of Elgin can differ from the Cook County part. We check current options for your specific address rather than assume either county applies to you.
