About Amy Spring

I am an energizer bunny in everything I do. I want things done right, thoroughly, with compassion, competence and efficiency. If there is something I can't do or figure out, I know someone who can! I love connecting resources and people!

My experiences in life have guided me where I am today. I have been in the health insurance field for a few decades, but had never experienced any health event to cause myself or any family member to ever come close to reaching a deductible, much less an out-of-pocket maximum or out-of-network extra expenses. I was a cheerleader promoting health insurance, until I had several issues that were financially, physically and emotionally very stressful. Compassion comes from experience and those experiences taught me the shortcuts and tricks to navigating this crazy world of health care. Having the employer/insurer/broker and personal vantage points, I am able to look at scenarios from all angles. I am backed by an excellent team that offers varying perspectives, with the ultimate client experience as the end game in mind.

About Ascent Insurance Group, LLC

Life is hard enough without having to navigate finding the best benefit options for your employees! Let us be your personal shopper and bring you only options that make sense for your group.

I’m Amy and I am a benefits addict.

I support all sized employers (especially in the non-profit sector) in designing employee benefits packages to help recruit and retain quality employees in a competitive marketplace. I appreciate the challenges of assessing risk, solving problems to help engage employees so they understand their coverage and searching the market for products that make sense for both employers and employees alike.

As a breast cancer survivor, I know what it is like to be paralyzed with daunting decisions, trying to decipher benefits and billings while trying to navigate a crazy health care system! I lead with compassion and curiosity, with the goal of providing the type of experience I would like to have as a consumer.

Spending time with family, organizing anything and everything!
Do your best and don’t spend time worrying about what others think of you! If someone pops into your mind, call or text them to let them know you are thinking about them!
Women. Plural. The mother who gave birth to me and was brave enough to place me for adoption and the mother who raised me and was brave enough to add another child to a struggling family.
Never give up, never give in!

I don’t love social media, and am only on Linked-In. Putting all of this information about myself out here or posting things makes me uncomfortable! I prefer connecting in person or a hand-written note. I love, love, love coffee and iced-green tea!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted!
