Thank you to Bill Pellegrini and the wonderful staff of Pellegrini & Associates. I am a new Medicare agent and recently became an agent member with Pellegrini & Associates. As a new agent, I have many questions about sorting out the next steps, and have much to learn. Bill and his gracious Associates (staff) have offered every courtesy and provided exceptional support as I learn my way into a new career. Their expertise, years of experience, and a never-give-up attitude encourages me to keep moving forward. I appreciate Pellegrini & Associates for the guidance, direction, and their dedication to their clients.

Bill & Staff are a great company to work with. They are very friendly and happy to be of service. When I call in with a question, I know I will get an answer.
Nat P.
I have years of experience of marketing Medicare health plans in several other states. I entered the Arizona marketplace with only one GA/FMO, namely Pellegrini and Associates. Bill connected me with carriers and helped me build the successful business I have today. There are a lot of FMO’s that can give you a contract with a carrier. Pellegrini and Associates can help you build a business.
George R.
I have not worked with many brokers in my career. I have found Bill Pellegrini very helpful, competent, and able to help me with a multitude of challenges, the least of which is computers. I would recommend Bill and his staff to any agent looking for help in the various areas of health and Medicare insurance.
