Introducing the MercyOne Health Plan MVB Award 

This year, MercyOne Health Plan wants to recognize top broker performance by honoring the broker that produces the most business. On a quarterly basis, nominees will be recognized and awarded as the previous quarter’s MVB, or Most Valuable Broker.  

So, what’s the catch?

No catch here. It’s simple. You produce the most business and receive recognition for your performance. 

And now, without further ado — drum roll please...

Our 2024 Q4 and 2025 Q3 MVB is Robert ‘RJ’ McCarey!

Meet RJ

RJ boasts an 18-year tenure in the industry. He earned his undergraduate civil engineering degree from ISU and dedicated 19 years to working at Maytag in Newton. Following Maytag’s relocation of the plant from Newton, he transitioned into the financial services sector. In the subsequent years, RJ began offering assistance to seniors regarding their health care options. He and his wife were co-owners of two pharmacies at the time, and she observed many instances of seniors being exploited, prompting her to ask him to step in and help. The business expanded organically from that point forward.

What’s the key to his success?

RJ attributes a lot of his success to the amazing team of hardworking people that help him and feels it’s about just putting in the time and the hard work.

Wise words from RJ

“I always do right by the client, whether that means a sale or not.” Having a love for moose, RJ always says, “Make the moose of your day.”
