G.W. Hux & Co.
Roanoke Rapids' Own Health Insurance Agency — Here Since 1996
We're not a call center. We're your neighbors, and we've been helping Roanoke Rapids families find the right health coverage for nearly three decades.
Local Help for Every Stage of Life
Whether you're picking your first individual plan, turning 65 and figuring out Medicare, or looking for group coverage for your employees, we handle it all from our office right here on Roanoke Avenue. You can walk in, call us, or schedule a virtual meeting — whatever works best for you.
Our founder, Phil Hux, is still active in the agency and still active in this community. He's president of the Roanoke Rapids High School Alumni Association. Several of our team members have been with us for more than a decade. When you call GW Hux & Co., you're talking to people who live here too.
Coverage We Help Roanoke Rapids Residents Find
Individual and Family Health Insurance
If you're buying coverage on your own — whether through the marketplace or outside of it — we'll walk you through your options, explain what's covered, and help you find a plan that fits your budget and your life.
Family Plans
Covering a household takes more than picking a low premium. We look at the full picture — who's on the plan, what care you actually use, and what you can realistically afford — before we recommend anything.
Medicare Coverage
Turning 65 is one of the most important insurance moments of your life. We help Roanoke Rapids residents understand Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement(Medigap), and standalone prescription coverage — and choose the combination that fits their health needs and budget.
Small Business Health Insurance
If you own a business in Halifax County and want to offer health benefits to your employees, we can help you put together a group plan that makes sense for a small team. We work with you directly — no middleman, no added fees.
Extra Coverage Options
We also offer dental and vision insurance, hospital indemnity coverage, cancer coverage, and short-term disability — coverage that fills the gaps your primary plan may leave behind.
Serving Roanoke Rapids and All of Halifax County
Our office is located at 1111 Roanoke Ave., Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870. We serve individuals and families throughout Halifax County, including surrounding communities in Northampton and Warren counties. For group clients, we travel statewide.

What "Selling Service" Means in Practice
Most insurance agencies earn a commission when they sell you a plan and move on. We don't work that way. Our philosophy is what we call "selling service" — meaning our job doesn't end at enrollment. We're here when you have a billing question, when you need to make a mid-year change, or when open enrollment rolls around and it's time to review your options again.
There is never an added fee to work with us. Our help is part of the deal, every time.
