I had some questions regarding my 2015 Covered California health insurance coverage related to my income for 2015 and called Maria after finding her name on the Blue Shield of CA agent page, and then seeing her great reviews here on yelp. She was very friendly and helpful even though she is not making any immediate money from me. She took the time to answer my questions and give me good advice. I will definitely go back to her the next time I need to purchase some insurance and I highly recommend you contact her before you make your next insurance purchase. Thank you, Maria! read more

I want to give a BIG thank you to Maria and the folks at Claims Plus Insurance Solutions. I just recently had to get new health insurance, and Maria made it so easy to find a plan that fit my life and budget. It would have been a much more painful process without her. She is an expert and a pleasure to work with on such a personal topic. I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you! read more

Maria knows what shes doing plain and simple. I had some very specific interests for my health insurance needs but in wading through the sea of companies and information I was overwhelmed. The result was that I kept putting off changing plans and paying way too much every month. Then I met Maria. I told her what I wanted and she came back to me with three different plans from different companies that were all within the parameters that I was looking for. She laid out the differences between each of the plans, answered all my questions, and I settled on the one that was best for me. The anxiety about picking the right plan evaporated. She also told me about the help she provides people when they go to settle claims. I will definitely be calling her should that ever arise. I recommend Claims Plus unreservedly. read more

I can't even put into words what an authentically loving person Maria Barron is. She only wants the best for everyone. She helped me discover why I was paying so much money out of pocket and switched me to a better health provider where I am paying less. I was hit with a couple of health conditions a couple of years back and needed good specialist recommendations. Maria went above and beyond to find the write doctors for my wife and I. She takes the time to listen and figure out the best insurance plan for your needs. I even referred my friend to Maria and she looked over his plan and kept him on it because it was best for him. My wife and I are fortunate to have met her. Thanks Claims Plus! read more

Having recently finished graduate school, I was in need of finding a way to continue my insurance coverage. Since I have a pre-existing condition, I was worried about my options. Luckily, I found out about Claims Plus Insurance through a family friend, and Maria was an absolutely indispensable help. I worked with Maria to identify what plans I would qualify for and to weigh the pros and cons of each plan for my needs and budget. Maria has many years of experience in the medical insurance business / extensive knowledge of the available health insurers and their plans; she was very easy to work with and really was an advocate for me throughout the whole process. Now, I am happily insured and would highly recommend Maria and Claims Plus Insurance Solutions to anyone who needs help finding medical insurance or needs an advocate in dealing with their medical insurance company. read more

Wow my friend has cancer and Maria Baron helped her find solutions for her insurance and made sure her insurance paid all her health claims. Cancer really has effected my girlfriend and now I am glad I found Maria to help her through these times in her life. read more

I was referred to Maria by a friend... I had been needing to get insurance for months and every time I started doing the research my head would spin and I'd get totally lost in all the details. I was so frustrated! Once I worked with Maria the whole painful process was over in a few days! She came to the rescue with clear options and explained everything to me. Her goal was to find what I wanted and didnt try to "upsell" me on anything. I finally will have insurance and peace of mind. It's great that her support didn't cost me anything extra! The service was free to me and made a world of difference. Thanks Maria. read more

Do not buy health insurance until you talk to Maria first! With the new Obama care programs coming soon, you want to know your options.

Maria is great! My COBRA plan was running out and I wanted to change to a less expensive plan. Unfortunately for me, I ran into some issues with underwriting as a result of some health problems I had had in the past. Maria walked me through every step of the process and helped me find a plan that saves me $300 per month. She is patient, calm and encouraging--making sure I understood everything and running interference for me with the insurance companies. I found a plan that works for me and is far more cost-effective than my previous plan. I really appreciate her work and will recommend her whenever I get a chance. read more

Maria at Claims Plus helped me choose the right medical insurance plan from several that were offered where I work. Without her advice, I would have enrolled in one that did not have all the coverage that I need. She explained the benefits of each plan much better than the printed information we were given! read more

I was referred to Maria by a friend. I'd been in the market for health insurance. I was doing a lot of research myself and found it some what overwhelming. Once I spoke with Maria and found out how her process worked, we got the ball rolling. Maria is very easy to work with, she answered all my questions and she's a patient advocate so I know that if I do have any issues with my new health insurance provider I can go back to her for help. Thank you! read more

Absolutely the best health insurance agent I've ever spoken to. She was clear, patient, intelligent, friendly, respectful, and HONEST. She openly advised me that an alternative quote that I had received from another agent was probably better for my needs. That is honesty! I will be contacting her for all of my health care needs in the future going forward. She is an absolutely incredible resource! read more

I am a young independent contractor and I was recently looking to get a health plan to cover those never for seen accidents with a high deductible to keep out of pocket costs low. Maria helped me through the process of finding the best plan for me step by step and answered any and all questions with confidence and very apparent understanding. Not only is she friendly and warm to speak with on the phone, but the type of person I would call with ANY insurance questions. Thank you Maria. Very much appreciated! read more

If you're looking for a trustworthy insurance agent who truly has your back, Maria is the one for you. I was on an insurance plan where I was paying for things that I shouldn't have been. Maria pointed out that on the plan I was using, I was paying for maternity. Maria saved me $580/month. She wanted to make sure that I had the right plan for me. She's not pushy. She just wants to make sure that her clients are well taken care of in case they get into trouble and, at the same time, aren't paying for what they don't need. Additionally, she's had 20+ years as a claims agent, so if her clients were to ever get ill and actually have to deal with bills from hospitals, doctors, etc., she can handle them for her clients. And she has one of the kindest hearts and easiest people to work with. I can't say enough good things about Maria. read more

Let's face it: Health Insurance information is complicated, a nightmare, dreadful ... I hated it and I kept procrastinating on it. My accountant referred me to Maria and I called with not much hope and many fears. She was so knowledgeable, kind, understanding and not judging the issues or the questions. I felt it was so easy to truly explain what I needed -and could afford! She genuinely cares and she took all the time I needed to help me. She never asked for a penny to give me all the explanations and advice even if it meant I was not going to do it through her. Not pushy at all or on her own agenda. All about what was better for me. So I did my health insurance with her of course and she made it so easy I'm still wandering why I didn't call her earlier!!! I've immediately recommended her to a friend and same story: he's happy and working on his own case with her. Totally confident in keeping recommending her! Thanks Maria. read more

My health insurer kept raising the rates of my health plan, and as an independent contractor in education, I couldn't afford that. Maria Barron at Claims Plus found many less expensive options with equivalent coverage, and eventually helped me choose a different plan with my current provider. Staying with my provider was a plus, since I didn't have to go through as much bureaucratic nonsense as I would have otherwise. Maria was both extremely professional and always pleasant to talk to. After five years in the Bay Area, I now have the health insurance broker I've been looking for! read more
