Meet Don Ariosto
After 20 years in corporate America with technology-based companies such as Kodak and Hitachi, I started the business in 2001 after the technology “crash” after September 11th. My corporate background helped me take a technology-based/C-level approach to start and grow the business. We are recognized by Blue Cross as one of only a select few Premier Agencies in Orange County, CA.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and a BA in Communications from West Chester University (1990-PA). Additionally, an MBA from Pepperdine University (2000-CA). I officiate high school and college football and basketball in several Southern California Conferences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are individual and family health insurance plans available in California?
If you are a single, couple or family living in Orange County or anywhere in California, you are able to purchase insurance plans from CIF Insurance Agency. Due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), there is no longer health underwriting. However, you must enroll in the calendar year open enrollment, which is October through December 15th, with an effective date of January 1st. If you have lost coverage through a company’s plan or moved to California you may qualify for a special enrollment period. There are several criteria’s for a SEP. We can review them with you as needed.
