Pick the one that sounds like you. It gives us a place to start.
Why local matters
Local knowledge. A conversation about you.
Your doctors, prescriptions, and day-to-day needs are personal. A conversation about coverage should start there, with someone who knows the community you call home.
I've lived in Bend since 1985. I bring that local perspective to conversations about your coverage.

About me
Hi, I'm Nicole Scholz.
Scholz Insurance has been part of my family’s life in Bend since 1985. My father, Lance R. Scholz, started the agency with a focus on Medicare supplementation and a simple belief: people deserve to understand their coverage before making a decision.
I’ve lived in Bend since that same year. After working in management, insurance processing, and medical billing, I became a licensed insurance agent in 2015. When my father retired in 2018, I took over the agency and continued the approach he taught me: listen carefully, explain clearly, and leave the decision in your hands.
I’m licensed in Oregon for Life and Health coverage, including Medicare Supplements, Life Insurance, Long-Term Care, Short-Term Care, Final Expense, and Annuities. I don’t sell Medicare Advantage plans. If you have a question about the coverage I offer, you can talk with me directly.
