Protection Planning Should Be Personal.Not Transactional.

Life insurance, annuities, health coverage, and Medicare — explained first, sold second.

About Patton Group

Personal, not transactional.

Founded in 2015, Patton Group LLC is a Michigan-based insurance and benefits agency built on the idea that protection planning should be personal. What started as a focus on voluntary benefits and individual Medicare plans has grown into a full-service practice covering life insurance, annuities, individual and group health insurance, and Medicare Advantage & Medicare Supplement plans — along with medical program and service solutions for healthcare organizations.

For over a decade, we have worked directly with individuals, families, and employer groups to build coverage strategies that fit real-world needs and budgets — not a one-size-fits-all policy.
