Reggie Mccue
Aflac Insurance
Reggie McCue has represented Aflac since 2002 in the Greater New Orleans area. Aflac is the industry leader in work site voluntary benefits. Voluntary benefits enhance and complete any employee benefits package. Jobs today are hard to come by, and Americans fortunate enough to be employed are finding raises scarce. It’s no surprise, then, that the Aflac Work Forces Report found that many employees aren’t prepared to cope with the cost of medical expenses. You may already offer major medical insurance to your employees. But in the event of an illness or injury, there may be out-of-pocket medical expenses that are not covered by your major medical coverage. Our insurance policies are designed to help with those two. Which means your employees can use those cash benefits to help with unexpected medical expenses and daily living expenses. Don’t duck out on a comprehensive benefits package for your employees.
