Subsequent to receiving a formal letter from my prior Medicare Advantage insurance provider, indicating that, as of 1/1/26, they would cease to provide coverage in New Hampshire - my home state - I engaged in carefully filtered Internet research as to the remaining retiree health insurance options in my region:
In the fast-approaching wilderness between neat and reassuring health insurance ID cards, and already experiencing worried specialist office holds and outright cancellations of early 2026 appointments, I trawled arm's length reviews; selected (non 'End-Times') YouTube primers and market surveys for a deeper dive.
Given the prospect of fast-emerging bureaucratic footnotes and gotcha crevasses generously enriching the senior application experience, I prudently decided to canvass the small world of licensed health insurance brokers focused on Medicare.
It was here that, leveraging my later IT career roles in IT management, I proceeded to parlay my 'Kicked Upstairs' job skills in business liaison and company performance analysis.
it wasn't long before I settled on contacting Abt Insurance Agency to establish how their CEO Stephanie Abt's following business-savvy mission statement would fare in an easygoing encounter with NYC-honed business liaison:
"I built my Agency on the idea people deserve a trusted guide when working to navigate the world of insurance, and especially the confusing maze of Medicare."
To get to the point of this review, her above mission statement fared superbly in the light of the courteously dynamic initial contact with, and prompt response by Stephanie herself; through her expeditious referral to one of her on-point Licensed Agents, Jake Wombacker; through to his prompt followup, clearly ready across the board to walk us both in tandem through the heroic Medicare options maze, to a regionally and personally customized solution set, succinctly summarized, and standing fully ready to answer any relevant question.
The whole, in a followup e-mail received in short order, was then clearly summarized and accompanied as well by a proposed spread sheet of realistic month by month 2026 projected health expenses in the light of the best fit, among available health insurance plans emerging from the brutal winnowing of 4th quarter 2025!
Clearly, Stephanie Abt's confident mission statement, above, fully reflected as well, from start to finish, in Agent Jake's standard-setting trifecta of consummate courtesy, master-class planning, and bullet-proof Results, thus fully earning its wings as a well-oiled business model!
In summary, I render witness in the larger view, that my textbook health insurance cutover in an already busy holiday and signup window - this further beset by historic service changes impacting much of the Medicare constituency, in tandem with many health providers - amply reflects Agent Jake Wombacker's guru-level command of his business process and analytical functions, as well as Stephanie Abt's award-quality leadership, and thereby Abt Insurance Agency's overall standard-setting expertise (with an emphatic nod here to their blue-ribbon health insurance application web site!) and consummate courtesy in meeting customer needs and concerns in a complex and fast-evolving health insurance market.
Kudos all around!

Great experience with Jake Wombacker. He spoke at length with on the phone several times to explain Medicare and Medigap options. Very knowledgeable, especially about our state rules. We had no hesitation buying our Medigap plan through Jake and Abt Insurance. Love the videos with Stephanie too.

After being in a management role for over 36 years, it is quite a pleasure to deal with Mr. Carter Grill at ABT Insurance Agency. I just retired, and weaving through the initial changes in insurance coverages, etc., has been a much easier task under the care of Mr. Grill. I look forward to dealing with him anytime I have a question on these insurance matters. It is a real joy to have someone you can talk to who is articulate, comfortable, very knowledgeable, and easy to deal with, and who provides a level of comfort discussing these matters. He does not rush you and allows you to repeat yourself a little to make sure you're fully clear on all of the analysis he is providing in the discussion. Again, I want to thank him and the agency for providing these services that are paramount to the care of myself and my wife for retirement health insurance.
Thank you
Ron and Ana

Abbie was a super star in helping my enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. I sent her a list of my providers and medications before our meeting. She took the initiative to use the information provided. She had options for me to chose from prior to our meeting. She was very kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend Abt Insurance Services. The company also does excellent YouTube videos on many subjects related to Medicare.
Thank you Abbie and Abt Insurance Services.

Earlier today I had my first experience with Abt Insurance Agency. I had subscribed to their YouTube channel, was impressed, and decided to reach out to them for Medicare enrollment assistance.
I spoke with Cameron for about 20 min. I’m fairly experienced with Medicare and this is the first time I’ve reached out for assistance. Specifically, I was looking to change my Part G insurer. Cameron was very patient, knowledgeable and provided me some excellent guidance. I had asked her about the least expensive Plan G available for me in Florida. She mentioned that the insurer was a “direct to consumer” plan, so her agency would get no benefit from this selection. However, she highly recommended them and again, answered all my questions.
I highly recommend reaching out to the Abt agency, and highly recommend Cameron.
