West Plains, Missouri's Independent Insurance and Financial Agent
If you're in West Plains and looking for an insurance agent who handles more than one thing, you've found one. At Select Insurance and Financial, we cover Medicare, personal insurance, farm and agricultural coverage, business insurance, and financial products like annuities — all under one roof, through one independent agency that represents multiple carriers rather than one.
Why West Plains Clients Choose an Independent Agent Over a Captive One
When you work with a captive agent, you get one company's products and one set of rates. When you work with us, we shop your coverage across multiple carriers to find what actually fits your situation. That independence matters whether you're comparing Medicare Advantage plans, pricing out a farm policy, or looking at a fixed annuity for retirement income. We're not pushing a single company's product line — we're finding the right fit for you.
Our office is in Mountain Grove, about 40 miles from West Plains, and we serve Howell County clients by phone, text, and in-office appointment. Most of what we do doesn't require you to drive anywhere. A conversation — by phone or text at 417-926-7900 — is usually all it takes to get started.

Medicare Coverage for West Plains and Howell County Residents
Medicare is one of the most complicated financial decisions you'll make, and the plan you choose at 65 can affect your out-of-pocket costs for years. We work with Medicare-eligible residents throughout Howell County on every aspect of Medicare: Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), Part D prescription drug plans, and enrollment guidance for people approaching 65 or switching plans during open enrollment.
We also host our Medicare Made Simple seminar program, which gives West Plains-area residents a no-pressure way to understand their options before making any decisions. If you'd rather start with a one-on-one conversation, we're available for that too — by phone, text, or appointment.
What we cover for Medicare clients in West Plains:
- Medicare Advantage plan comparison across available carriers
- Medicare Supplement plans for predictable, low-surprise costs
- Part D prescription drug plan selection based on your specific medications

One Agent for Medicare and Retirement Planning — Not Two
Here's something most West Plains residents don't realize: the decisions you make about Medicare and the decisions you make about retirement income are connected. When you start Medicare affects when you can contribute to certain accounts. How your retirement income is structured affects your Medicare premium tier. These aren't separate conversations — they're the same conversation.
We handle both. Steven Hall works with West Plains clients on Medicare plan selection and on financial products including fixed annuities, indexed annuities, and indexed life insurance. If you're within five years of retirement and haven't had a conversation that covers both sides of that picture, it's worth a call.
Farm and Agricultural Insurance for Howell County Producers
Howell County has a working agricultural economy, and farm insurance in this region isn't a simple package policy. Producers here need coverage that accounts for the realities of Ozarks farming — varied terrain, livestock operations, equipment exposure, and crop risk. We've been covering farm and agricultural clients across the Ozarks for more than 20 years, and farm insurance is a specialty for us, not an add-on.
We write farm and ranch policies, crop insurance, and livestock coverage for producers throughout the region, including Howell County. If you're a farmer who also needs Medicare or is thinking about an annuity for retirement, we're the agency that handles all of it — so you're not managing three separate agent relationships.
