Health insurance helps you pay for medical services and sometimes prescription drugs. You and your insurer each agree to pay a certain dollar amount or percentage of your medical expenses.  Timothy Bowman has spent his life using his personal and professional experiences to help clients understand healthcare and provide them with the resources so they can make informed decisions for what is best for them.  After working exclusively for one insurance company as a captive agent, he realized that he could better serve his client base by becoming an independent agent, representing multiple insurance companies and offering his potential clients more options and benefit choices.  Educating the client on the plan options and benefits, allows each person to become empowered to make decisions for what is best for themselves. Knowledge truly is Power!  He knows from experience there is no single health plan that works best for everyone, so he continues to educate others on the health plans that are tailored for each individual's needs. He is a Licensed Insurance Agent certified to sell/market for several insurance companies.  He has worked in various insurance capacities including: Underwriting, Eligibility Determination, Risk Management, Contract Management and Medicare Sales/Marketing that enable him to have a well-rounded view of the insurance enrollment process.  He received his earlier education in the school system in Quincy, Florida and is a graduate of FAMU (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University) with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.  Email:  [email protected] ; Cell:  850-354-1166

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women—about 270,000 women are diagnosed each year, accounting for approximately 30% of all cancer cases, according to the American Cancer Society. Although it happens much less often, men can develop breast cancer, too.  In each of these people, breast cancer began the same way: A rogue cell began to multiply in ways it’s not supposed to, usually in the milk glands (called lobules) or the ducts that carry milk, eventually forming a tumor.  How each person's breast cancer develops from there depends on lots of variables. But importantly, most breast cancers are highly treatable. On average, the five-year survival rate (meaning: the percentage of people who are still living five years after diagnosis) for breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body is 90%.  Amit Jain, MD is a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare.
