Whether you’re:
✔ Turning 65
✔ New to Medicare
✔ Reviewing your current coverage
✔ Or simply have questions

We’re here to help you make confident, informed decisions.

Live in Alabama? Paying too much for health insurance — or going without?
You know the drill. Press one for English. Two for sales. Three for somebody who doesn't know your name or what county you live in.
There's another way.
Christina and James Isbell — a local, independent Alabama agency serving the Birmingham area and beyond. We review the plans, explain the details, and call you.
Family coverage. Between jobs. Self-employed. Gap plans. We'll find what fits your life and your budget.
No call center. No pressure. No 1-800 runaround.

Navigating health insurance is more than just paperwork—it’s about your peace of mind. Most people don’t think about their coverage until something goes wrong. We’ve been there, and we want to make sure your family never has to learn the "hard way."

In this video, Christina Isbell shares the personal story that sparked our mission. After watching a family member suffer through the confusion of a 1-800 call center and the heartbreak of being told, "We don't take that plan," we knew seniors deserved a real advocate in their corner.

At C&J Isbell Brokerage Group, we believe in education before enrollment. We are your neighbors, not a call center, and we stay by your side long after you’ve signed up.
