Carl Ritz
Founder of MAPS
My name is Carl Ritz, and I am an Independent Insurance Broker serving clients in Belvidere, Rockford, Marengo, Joliet, Morris, Woodstock, IL, and throughout the entire state. I have owned my own insurance agency for nearly 40 years and have been dedicated to the insurance industry for more than five decades.
My specialty is working with individuals 65+ and helping them understand their coverage options to save money! Saving has been my passion from day one, and it continues to be the focus of my work every day.
I know that navigating Medicare, Medigap, Medicaid, prescription drug coverage, and final expense insurance can feel overwhelming, especially if you are just turning 65 or adjusting to life on Medicare. That is where I step in to provide personalized guidance, education, and support, so you don’t have to tackle the complexity alone.
Unbiased Guidance
50+ Years of Experience
Focus on Savings
My goal is to make insurance simple, understandable, and tailored to your unique needs.
I offer my services at no cost to you. My compensation comes from the 28+ nationally recognized insurance carriers I represent, allowing me to present multiple options and plans without any bias.
Medicare strictly oversees commissions for Medicare Advantage and stand-alone drug plans, ensuring there is no incentive to favor one carrier over another, so you can trust that my advice is focused on your best interests.
No matter what you are searching for, I am here to guide you through your choices with clarity and confidence. I can help you:
- Understand which coverage best fits your health needs and financial situation.
- Compare plans side by side to see how benefits and costs match your lifestyle.
- Answer questions about your options, eligibility, and benefits in plain language.
- Conduct annual reviews to ensure your coverage continues to meet your evolving needs.
I meet with clients in person, over the phone, or virtually, and I can send information by mail or email, giving you the flexibility to make informed decisions on your schedule.
My commitment is to provide high-quality, personalized service so that every client feels supported and confident in their insurance choices.
