“First, foremost, and always, our main focus is to identify the true needs of our clients and fill those needs with the best North Carolina health insurance (BCBSNC®) products on the market and the best customer service in the industry.” -- Jerry Ballard, Owner, Jerry Ballard & Associates

In spite of his 34 years in the health insurance business and his many professional accomplishments and industry awards, Jerry Ballard is a modest man who never loses sight of what is really important – taking care of his clients.

After a 20-year career with Mutual of Omaha, Ballard launched his own independent insurance agency in 1995. “I knew I could service clients better by showing them a variety of products from different companies, instead of trying to fit one company’s products on all,” Ballard explained.

When he brought his NC health insurance business to the Internet in February of 2000, Ballard worked hard to create a friendly website that was easy to understand and easy to get around. His goal was to make his website “a close second” to meeting his clients in person.

His steady focus on his clients’ needs in person and on the Internet has quickly made Ballard the #1 Salesman for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC®) Individual Insurance Sales.

When all is said and done, nothing speaks louder about Jerry Ballard than these statistics:

• 80 – 90% of his clients refer family members and friends to him
• 90% of his clients stay with him year after year.

Choose from the best insurance companies and plans in the industry.

If you have any questions about a certain plan, just call Jerry Ballard & Associates for the answers. He and his four-person support team know these products inside out; they will explain anything that is confusing and guide you to the best plans for your personal needs.

Every step along the way, you will be treated to exemplary customer service by the Jerry Ballard team.

Know as "Fish Town" in the early 1700's when Blackbeard frequented the coast, "Beaufort Town" was established as a seaport with the right to collect customs in 1722. During the American Revolution, it was the third largest port in the state.

As in most of eastern North Carolina, early trade centered around lumber products. These were shipped from the rich Newport River area plantations to the West Indies in exchange for other goods.

Historically important, the "Old Burying Ground" was deeded to the town in 1731. It contains graves of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812.

A whaling community, Diamond City, was located on Shackleford Banks, six miles to the southeast by boat, during the 18th & 19th centuries. Perhaps this will help explain the "New England feel" with traditional southern colonial architecture.

Beaufort continued to prosper into the nineteenth century as a port and as an agricultural, commercial and governmental center. Close by, Fort Macon, a large brick fortress guarded the eastern end of Carteret County. Beaufort became a favorite summer retreat for the well-to-do.

Following the conclusion of the war, Beaufort again was the favorite summer retreat. Trade included; lumber, barrel staves, rum, and molasses as some of Beaufort's exports. However, the port declined as a trade center and commercial fishing became the primary business in the area. Beaufort served as home port for large fishing fleets and as the site for processing plants for the menhaden trade.

In the 1970s, Beaufort again became a major summer resort as the town and waterfront were restored.

In 1997, Beaufort was highlighted in national and international news as the wreckage of what is presumed to be Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, was discovered in 20 feet of water --2 miles from Beaufort Inlet. Artifact recovery operations were immediately able to identify --and in some cases retrieve-- many pieces, including the ship's bronze bell, cannons, and deck guns.
