Our Humble Beginnings


 Here's a recent photo of the Bank Building located in Crooksville, OH where Grandpa Reichley started his insurance career in 1946.  In 1951, he moved the business (and the family) to Xenia, OH, and we've been serving the Miami Valley ever since.  In May of this year, we consolidated our offices to the Beavercreek location, which is pictured below.

 

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for allowing us to serve you over the past 60 years.  Our clients are the reason we say, "Insurance is not a product; it's a promise and a trusted relationship."

 

Reichley Insurance Agency is committed to excellence. We pride ourselves on offering our clients reliable coverage and great service. As an independent Ohio insurance agency, we can provide you with all types of insurance coverage from the top carriers in the country. Our team of trusted agents will work with you to find a policy that meets your needs – and falls within your budget.

Ohio Health Insurance: Dependent to Age 28 Coverage Expansion

 As of July 1, 2010, a new Ohio law now allows unmarried children or stepchildren up to age 28 to remain or be added to their parents’ health insurance coverage.

While the federal health care reform law passed earlier this year increases the dependent age to 26, health insurers and plans subject to Ohio law must provide coverage or offer parents the opportunity to purchase coverage for children from age 26 to 28.

The Ohio Department of Insurance has created a Web site, http://www.healthcarereform.ohio.gov/, which includes a breakdown of the state and federal health care reforms being implemented in Ohio.  More information about the dependent age coverage expansion, such as effective dates and enrollment details can be found here.

 The nest is getting emptier, and so is your bank account, as your child heads off to the next big adventure in their lives: college. As part of this journey they will be taking much of their personal furnishings, including televisions, stereos, computers, books and supplies to their new temporary home.

We often get questions about coverage for a child’s possessions. While we would prefer to know the specifics of your child’s living situation, in general your child, if a resident relative of your home and a full time student, is considered an “insured” under most homeowner policies. Therefore, a parent’s homeowner policy could extend coverage for property and liability to your child while temporarily residing at college. There are exceptions and qualifications to this explanation that may result in the need for special coverage. Call us with any questions.

 At Reichley Insurance, we are proud to support the communities we serve.  Here is one such example: 

4 Paws for Ability is an organization that enriches the lives of people with disabilities by the training and placement of service dogs to provide individuals with companionship and promote independent living.  One of the great things about 4 Paws is that they assist with animal rescue.  Whenever possible, they obtain their animals from shelters and rescue groups.  

The 4 Paws web site lists the following Competitive Advantages: 

  1.  Faster turnaround time for training and receipt of a service dog. The process typically takes 12 - 18 months from start to finish with 9 - 12 months of this being after the funds are raised. These months (9 - 12) are the months the dog is in training. The waiting period for most service dog organizations is 2 - 3 years, with some waits as long as 5 years.
  2. Challenges are welcomed. 4 Paws is willing to reach out and tackle the more difficult placements.
  3. Enviable success rate. We have a 98% success rate in placements using donated and rescue animals: we have a 90% success rate with the first dog placed in the home and an overall success rate of 98%.
  4. Flexible training. Training that can provide unique and highly customized kinds of placements.
  5. Nationwide. National outreach rather than primarily regional.
  6. Open to more individuals. No restrictions placed on age at placement. 4 Paws has no minimal age requirement and does not discriminate based on severity of disability within the programs it provides.
  7. Pet Friendly. 4 Paws does not require that recipients give up their pets to receive a service dog as many agencies do. 

Another great thing about 4 Paws is that they are located in Xenia, OH.  It is great to see a local organization having a national impact to better the lives of those living with disabilities.
