Bloomfield Hills Insurance Agency (BHIA) is an independent insurance agency dedicated to providing proper insurance coverage and premiums to our clients. We represent a number of insurance companies that offer a wide range of insurance products. Bloomfield Hills Insurance Agency believes in matching your current risk exposure to an insurance carrier that not only covers your risk, but targets you as a customer. This match will bring greater coverage and lower premiums, however, a thorough review is still required to customize your policies.

Bloomfield Hills Insurance Agency is a proud member of Michigan Agency Alliance, LLC (MAA). MAA was formed to allow greater insurance carrier access and a personal relationship with underwriters. MAA is made up of a few select agencies that carefully review and monitor its client base. Creating greater premium volume with each carrier allows for a better working relationship with our carriers. These relationships provide better training, claims review, underwriting consideration, and premium controls.
