I was very confused as to how to navigate my way through Medicare and Craig helped simplify it for me. I couldn't have done it without him. Another great (and rare) perk of working with him---he actually picks up his phone or calls you back quickly!

Craig Smith took care of my Medicare needs by being very patient answering my questions and walking me through the applications. He is the best!!! I would not have been able to do this on my own. Thank you, Craig

I had a great experience with Mr. Smith. He took time to explain everything in the simplest way. There wasn’t any pressure and he genuinely cared about my needs. If you’re looking for someone to find the best coverage for you contact Mr. Craig Smith.

As a new enrollee in Medicare, I find Craig Smith's experience and knowledge of Medicare health insurance invaluable. I appreciate that Craig is a local, independent Medicare health insurance broker. He knows his stuff and explains all the available plans in the New York market. Best of all, I really appreciate his guidance on plan options that best fit my needs. He makes the enrollment process easy and stress free. Craig is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

I found Craig Smith on the internet in my frantic search to find health insurance after my Cobra insurance expired. I should also mention that I found an interim solution from the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace; however, shortly after I signed up with that insurance, most every major medical institution and associated doctors stopped accepting that insurance making it worthless! Craig listened to my special circumstance as I had some specific health conditions. He suggested a few options, so I began the process of filling out paperwork. Unfortunately, I was rejected by underwriting from one company; however, Craig told me not to worry as he was certain that the other option would come through. And, as he predicted, I was approved by the other option and now have a great option from an insurance company offering a PPO plan that most all of my doctors accept. Thank you, Craig! I highly recommend working with Craig! I plan to utilize Craig’s services when I get ready to apply for Medicare.

We recently called Craig Smith Insurance for help with choosing a Medicare supplement insurance. Craig was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He answered all our questions about the best plan to fit our needs, helped us choose a policy, and assisted us in signing up. The Medicare process is confusing and intimidating. Craig broke it down and made it easier. I will recommend him to others.
