Gus (Agostino) Zoida has made navigating health care issues incredibly easy for me. I can't recommend him highly enough. I was skeptical at first, but I've been working with Gus for a few years now and he consistently delivers. If you're on the fence, just ask for him. He responds quickly, gets straight to the point, and doesn't miss. He takes complex information, makes it understandable, and gives clear, practical recommendations that actually help. read more

Gus Zoida is beyond exceptional. I first worked with Gus during COVID, and he made the entire health insurance process feel seamless from start to finish. I recently reconnected with him six years later after unexpectedly losing my job, and once again he has lifted so much stress, confusion, and anxiety during an already overwhelming time. Not only is Gus incredibly knowledgeable, but he's also patient, kind, responsive, and thorough. He always takes the time to explain everything in a way that's easy to understand, and I've never had trouble getting in touch with him when I had questions. The American health insurance system can be incredibly confusing and overwhelming to navigate, but Gus somehow makes the process feel simple and manageable. That peace of mind is invaluable. I'm so grateful I found him, and I will absolutely continue working with him whenever I need help with health insurance. He's truly a gem, and I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Gus was incredible! He answered all of my endless questions and we came up with the best possible health insurance plan for me, which can be tricky as a Type 1 Diabetic. I would highly recommend this agency, and I'm incredibly happy with Gus' services and attention to details. read more

Fast service and helps with finding best plan for your family. Helps navigate the annoying paper work:) Highly recommend read more

Finding the best health insurance coverage has been the bane of my existence for the past couple of months due to some complicated circumstances, but after just ONE phone call, Larry figured it all out!! I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I was on the phone for hours with Medi-Cal, Covered California, and Blue Shield. I kept getting conflicting information, told I had to wait for answers, and I was spending way too much time getting nowhere. Larry took the time to hear my situation and understood how to navigate it perfectly. The breadth of his knowledge and familiarity with the health insurance system was so clear- it put me at ease. Simply, he knows what he's doing! If you're even curious about working with BenefitPackages, I recommend them 1,000%! read more

Gus delivered some of the best customer service I've seen. It's frankly how it is supposed to be. It is a lost art. He should teach a class.

I see everyone else here is waxing poetic about Gus as well, and with good reason. You can tell he knows his job like the back of his hand and was able to get me deals that I otherwise wouldn't have found while providing excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Benefit Packages. As long as you're willing to sit through a few admittedly long wait times, they'll take a lot of the stress away from finding insurance. read more

They are the best! Very professional and promt. Francesca Zoida and Gus Zoida are the best agents. read more

Larry made the process of getting a plan that worked for me so seamless. He guided me through my options and I was able to get a plan that is both affordable and meets my needs. Highly recommend! read more

10/10. No notes. Gus was incredibly knowledgeable, quick, smart, and helped me secure a plan in about 15 minutes. He was able to talk through the pros and cons of the Bronze vs Silver vs Gold plans available to me, which ones would be best with our health considerations, and which one would be the cheapest in the long run when comparing monthly premium to deductibles and copays. I'd always purchased my own insurance off the exchanges by myself previously, but HIGHLY recommend Gus (Augustio) Zoida as a wingman when you're deliberating on coverage. Having somebody like him who knows the ins and outs of the various plans and is well-versed in income / deductions and how that affects any aid you might be eligible for made me feel incredibly confident that I was choosing the correct option for me and my husband. read more

Impeccable service. Gus is so efficient, fast and reliable. He gave me an in-depth explanation of all available options while making sure I was getting what is in my best interest. Highly recommend! read more

All I can say is- thank you Gus! I was looking to make some changes on our family health plan, which was ridiculously high.

I can't say enough about Gus, for all his assistance in helping me find the best insurance plan for my daughter and who was contracted with her physician. Gus, was so INCREDIBLY patient with me, when I was frustrated with doctors office's, not being knowledgeable in what insurance they were contracted with. Gus, is HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE, RECOMMENDED & GOES BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY !!! A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU GUS. read more

Gus turned what I thought was going to be a super stressful process into an easy, painless phone call. He was fast, clear, personable, and answered all my questions. This is probably the easiest insurance-related call I've ever had. Thanks Gus! read more

Gus came to my rescue today! My COBRA was expiring and I could not navigate finding new insurance on my own or the California Covered website. Within an hour I had the coverage I wanted that included my existing primary care doctor and I was paid, enrolled, and covered 24 hours later. He found me better rate than I found online. I highly recommend! Very prompt, immediately reply to my message and stayed with me on the phone to walk me through the entire process online. Super grateful for Gus! read more

As many other reviews have noted, I too came in contact with the firm in conjunction with the confusion and uncertainty that is the enrollment of Covered California for 2020. I was very quickly called back by Gus who worked diligently on my enrollment and explaining options that I had not considered. He was exceptionally pleasant and courteous in his demeanor and I simply could not be happier with my experience. Thank you Gus! I really do appreciate your perseverance in handling a situation that I had little patience and knowledge in and making it a breeze. Your follow ups have been great as well! read more

He was great at explaining the options available to me and got me signed up really quickly for a plan that meets my budget and needs.

Applying for health insurance is such a hassle and I was mentally preparing myself to be on the phone all day and get nowhere but luckily I signed up for a call back in 15min and to my surprise it was actually 15mins!! That's when I got to speak with Gus and he was so informative and explained to me what was going on with my application. Not only did he correct it but he helped me understand the whole health care jargon. I am more than satisfied with the support I received. Thank god for GUS :) read more

Navigating yourself to get healthcare can be scary. The Covered California website could look simple but if you click one wrong thing your application could not go through and you won't even know what you clicked wrong. I requested for a representative to give me a call through Covered California instead of staying on hold. About 15 minutes later Gus gave me a call. Gus went through every step with me and fixed what needed to be fixed on my application. He was so knowledgeable and actually gave me input on the plans instead of pressuring me to pick one with no information. He helped me pick a health care plan and a dental plan. I am so appreciative I got him as a representative to help. He even sent follow up emails to make sure everything went smoothly. If you ever need help make sure to ask for Gus! Thank you Gus!! read more

Larry and his team at Benefit Packages have always been best in class. I have worked with several representatives and always had a great experience. I was in a real bind this year as my carrier was leaving the state and Larry got me set up with a great plan is less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

I was paying way too much for a health plan I wasn't even fully utilizing and with the new year coming up, wanted to switch to a cheaper, yet still beneficial plan. My Friend referred me to Gus at Benefit Packages and he was SUPER HELPFUL. He updated my covered California account to see the benefits I would get with my income, then walked me through all of the plans I could chose from. He was honest, giving me the pros and cons and made sure the plan I got benefited what I needed. I was able to switch to a plan that was $100 cheaper than what I'm currently paying. Ask For Gus and he will go above and beyond to get you the right plan for you! read more

I am so grateful that I can cross this big thing off my to do list and I will refer him to everyone I know. read more

Gus made the process for buying health insurance for an individual EASY. I initially did a lot of work myself for weeks, but lacked confidence with the information I had. Gus did an exceptional job easing my concerns, researching, and giving me all of my options. I ended up getting a better deal with him because I didn't even know about some packages. The takeaway is that having an agent, especially Gus, can only save you money!!! read more

Gus was so patient and helpful! He helped me set up my health and dental insurance and explained everything in a clear and thoughtful way.

Thank you so much, Gus!! read more

I had a lot of trouble applying for covered California. I am about to be 26 and off my parents medical insurance plan and can't afford it myself so I wanted to see if I can apply for medical insurance that's affordable. I had no idea what I was doing or where I was in the process. I had no idea if I was doing the application correctly and it was all very stressful. I decided to call in and see if someone who knows what to do can help me. Man was I lucky to get connected to Gus, he was beyond helpful. He even went into my account and went over every part of the application so we can fix all the parts where I messed up and then was able to very clearly explain all my different options so I could make a very informed decision. Thank goodness for his help, he turned a hard and stressful process into an easy and understandable process, making the whole thing very pleasant. There aren't enough ways to thank him for everything he did for me! read more
