Why Work With an Independent Medicare Broker?
When you call 1-800-MEDICARE or a captive agent at a single insurance company, you only see one company's plans. An independent broker works for you — not the carriers — and can compare every option side by side.
Access to Every Major Carrier
We're contracted with Humana, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and more. You see every option available in Lakeland — not just one company's lineup.
100% Free — No Extra Cost to You
You pay exactly the same premium whether you go direct or through us. We're paid by the carrier, not by you. Expert advice with zero markup.
No Sales Pressure
We don't have a quota or a single plan to push. Our only goal is finding the plan that fits your doctors, medications, and budget — even if that means telling you to stay where you are.
Year-Round Support
Our relationship doesn't end at enrollment. Questions about a claim? Network change? We're here all year — not just during Open Enrollment season.
Local & Community-Focused
Jeff Craig is a Lakeland local who serves his neighbors. He understands the Polk County healthcare landscape, which hospitals accept which plans, and what matters to Florida seniors.
Licensed & Fully Certified
Fully licensed in Florida and carrier-certified annually. You get professionally trained, up-to-date guidance on the latest Medicare plan changes.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from Polk County seniors we've helped find the right Medicare plan.
"Jeff walked us through every plan option and never once made us feel rushed. He found my husband a Medicare Advantage plan that covers his cardiologist and saves us over $80 a month compared to what we had before. I can't recommend Core Insurance Solutions enough."
Sandra M.
Lakeland, FL
"I called three different Medicare hotlines and got nothing but confusion. One call to Jeff and everything clicked. He explained the difference between Advantage and Supplement in plain English, compared four plans side by side, and had me enrolled the same week. Best of all — completely free."
Robert T.
Winter Haven, FL
"I was about to turn 65 and had no idea where to start. Jeff sat with me for over an hour reviewing my medications and making sure my doctors were in-network. He genuinely cares about getting it right, not just making a sale. I've already referred three friends to him."
