I have been blessed to have served in the Medicare/ Health/ Life business the past 25 years. My clients consider me their trusted Advisor, as I always look out for the client’s interest above my own.
I have been working with and for Medicare Advantage Plans for over 20 years.
Prior to becoming an Independent Insurance Agent, I worked as an employee for one of Arizona’s leading Medicare Advantage Health Plans for over 16 years. Early on in my career I worked as a Territory Manager in Northern Arizona, Medical Claims Examiner, Consumer Specialist and a Customer Service Representative. In 2012 the company had a statewide lay off. This could not have happened at a better time in my career. As a single parent of 2 children, I felt it was time for me to spread my wings and become a broker. The severance package I received allowed me to do just that. In June of 2012. Being a broker allows me to service the unique needs of the individual, not the needs of the insurance company. I am able to offer you a non-bias consultation of the insurance plans that are available to you.
My mission is to help seniors make the right Medicare plan decision for their individual needs. I am dedicated to matching the right plan for you. This dedication is the reason why so many prospective members, like you, have become members.

Buddy began his career in the medical device field in 2017 with Dexcom, a leading CGM manufacturer, after studying electrical engineering at Arizona State University. As a sales representative, he found fulfillment in helping elderly and pediatric diabetes patients access CGMs.

When Dexcom relocated its sales department to California in 2019, Buddy chose to stay in Arizona, eventually earning his health insurance license to better assist seniors with Medicare coverage for CGMs.

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Buddy thrived in telephone-based Medicare sales and now, with four years of experience, joins Medicare Health Plan Advisors to build more in-person relationships. Outside of his work, Buddy performs around 100 shows a year as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in his country band, the Buddy Martell Band.
