Rural WV Doesn't Have to Mean Fewer Options
Being 20 miles from the nearest city shouldn't limit your access to good insurance guidance. As an independent agency licensed in 14 states, we work with rural markets regularly and know how plan availability, provider networks, and coverage gaps can look very different outside of a metro area. Preston County residents deserve the same thorough, personalized review that anyone else gets — and that's exactly what we provide.
We serve Kingwood clients the same way we serve clients down the street from our office: by learning your situation, comparing your options across multiple carriers, and recommending what actually fits. Not what's easiest to sell.
Medicare Plans in Preston County Require a Closer Look
Choosing a Medicare plan in a rural area like Preston County isn't as simple as picking the one with the lowest premium. Network access matters enormously here. Many of our Kingwood-area clients rely on WVU Medicine and other Morgantown-based providers for specialist care, imaging, and procedures — and not every Medicare Advantage plan covers those providers the way you'd expect.
Before we recommend any plan, we verify that your preferred providers are in-network. If you travel to Morgantown for most of your healthcare, your plan should follow you there. We make sure it does.
- Medicare Advantage plan network verification for Morgantown and WVU Medicine providers
- Medicare Supplement plans that travel with you regardless of network
- Prescription Drug Plans reviewed against your current medications
- Hospital Indemnity Plans to cover gaps rural plan options sometimes leave behind
We Come to You — By Phone, Email, or Appointment
You don't need to drive to Morgantown for a consultation. We handle the full enrollment process remotely — by phone, email, and digital tools — so you can get expert guidance from your kitchen table in Kingwood. If you prefer to meet in person, our Morgantown office is always available, but it's never required.
Our team of four licensed Medicare specialists handles every step of the process: reviewing your current coverage, walking you through your options, completing your application, and following up after enrollment. We're a real local team, not a national call center.
Independent Means We Work for You, Not a Carrier
As an independent insurance agency, we're not tied to any single insurance company. That means when we compare plans for a Preston County client, we're pulling from a broad market of carriers — not steering you toward whoever pays us the most. Our job is to find the right fit for your health needs, your budget, and your providers. That's it.
For rural West Virginia residents, this independence matters. Plan availability and network depth can vary significantly by zip code, and having an agent who knows how to navigate that — and who has no incentive to oversell — is the difference between a plan that works and one that surprises you at the worst moment.
Coverage Options We Help Preston County Residents Navigate
Whether you're turning 65 and exploring Medicare for the first time, looking for individual health coverage, or thinking about life insurance for your family, we work across all of it. Here's what we help Kingwood-area clients with most often:
- Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans
- Prescription Drug Plans(Part D)
- Individual and ACA Marketplace health insurance
- Dental and vision insurance, including instant self-enrollment options
- Term life, whole life, and final expense insurance
- Disability and critical illness coverage

Four Local Advisors, One Team That Knows This Market
Michael Cilella founded the agency with 13 years in the insurance industry, including eight dedicated entirely to Medicare. Michael Ogden, Donna Hines, and John Fox each bring that same commitment to personal service that has made referrals our primary source of new clients. We're not a franchise, and we're not a call center. We're your neighbors.
Michael Cilella
Strategic Health Insurance Benefits Advisor
I founded Cilella Insurance because I wanted to build a practice where clients come first and every recommendation reflects their situation, not a carrier's quota.
Michael Ogden
Licensed Medicare Specialist
I joined Cilella Insurance because Medicare decisions deserve more than a quick comparison tool — they deserve someone who takes time to understand your situation and stays available long after enrollment.
Donna Hines
Licensed Medicare Specialist
My approach is straightforward: understand each client's situation, explain every option clearly, and make sure no one signs anything they don't fully understand.
John Fox
Licensed Medicare Specialist
Before focusing on insurance full-time, I served as a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer — work that gave me firsthand experience with what families face when planning isn't in place.
