About Grove
Four licensed advisors and one phone number.
When you call us, you get the same person you spoke to last time. Not a different stranger every year. Grove opened in Fort Collins because the alternative — a call center in another state, a different stranger every year — isn’t good enough for a decision this permanent. When you call us, you get the person whose name is on your file.

Who you’ll work with
Tina Price
Benefit Advisor
Tina works Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Part D, and individual and family plans through Connect for Health Colorado alongside them — the two paths cross more often than people expect. Owners get the same treatment: she also works small business group health, dental, vision, life and disability with the habit she brings to a Medicare puzzle, asking until the reason behind the answer is clear. She takes the cases other advisors find inconvenient, the ones with no clean answer. Her clients don’t leave with a policy number. They leave knowing why it was the right one.
Works: Medicare, individual & family plans and the places the two overlap, plus group benefits for small businesses.
What clients have said

Lexi Abbott
Benefit Advisor
Lexi works all three sides — individual and family coverage through Connect for Health Colorado, Medicare for clients moving into retirement, and group benefits for Northern Colorado small businesses. Her reviews are consistent: she comes to the first call already prepared, narrows a chaotic field to a handful of real options, and stays on the phone until it makes sense. Clients describe walking in expecting to lose their doctors or their prescriptions and walking out having kept both.
Works: Medicare, individual & family plans and the places the two overlap, plus group benefits for small businesses.
What clients have said
What a life saver Lexi has been. We needed new health and dental insurance for the first time in Colorado and to say I was confused by the process and offerings would be a massive understatement. Lexi dove in and rode right alongside me, handling so much of the process and answering my constant questions with knowledge, patience, speed and thoroughness always. Look no further for insurance help.
Lexi is the best! She goes the extra mile !!!!

Evan Vaughn
Benefit Advisor
Evan’s clients tend to describe two things: how fast he moves, and how willing he is to tell you not to buy. He works individual and family health coverage across Northern Colorado, and Medicare alongside it. Small business owners get the same honesty: he runs the numbers on a group plan and tells you plainly when keeping what you have is the better fit. More than one review recounts him running the numbers, finding a cheaper plan, and then agreeing the client’s existing coverage was the better fit anyway. He calls when he says he’ll call, does the research between conversations, and finishes what he starts, including after hours.
Works: Medicare, individual & family plans and the places the two overlap, plus group benefits for small businesses.
What clients have said
I worked with Evan and he was very thorough and very honest on the options that I had and the recommendations regarding my situation. Found the consultation, very helpful and will likely be using them moving forward.
Evan Vaughn is hands down the best insurance benefits advisor I’ve ever worked with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to helping his clients find the best coverage for their needs. Evan always responds promptly, takes the time to explain options clearly, and makes the entire process stress-free. His hard work and exceptional customer service truly set him apart. I highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for trustworthy insurance guidance—he is the only advisor I will use moving forward!

Kara Donahoe
Affiliated Broker
Kara’s specialty is the part of Medicare that makes people put off the paperwork: comparing Medigap supplements, sorting out Part D, matching Advantage plans to your doctors and prescriptions. She works individual and family coverage through Connect for Health Colorado too, along with group benefits for small employers. With eighteen years of insurance broker experience, she will make the process simple and understandable.
Works: Medicare, individual & family plans and the places the two overlap, plus group benefits for small businesses.
What clients have said
Kara was very clear about all the different options available so I could make the choice that makes the most sense for me. She was knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. I am very pleased with Kara and highly recommend her.
I have really enjoyed working with Kara Donahoe. She has been so patient and helpful - concerned with my issues - spending so much time with me. The best experience I have had in trying to navigate the world of Medicare and insurance options.

Money, plainly
How we get paid
We’ll say when the answer isn’t ours to sell
Each of us has told people to stay on a group plan, keep PERACare, or take something we get nothing for. If what you already have beats what we can offer, that’s what you’ll hear.
Commission doesn’t pick your plan
Sometimes the right plan for you pays us nothing, and you go on it anyway. What a plan pays is not what decides the recommendation.
A plan we didn’t sell you still gets fixed
Arrive in something that’s wrong for you and the repair pays us nothing, and it still gets done. Sometimes that means waiting for an enrollment period and calling you the week it opens.
We work by phone and video
Almost all of this runs over the phone or on a video call. We keep it there on purpose: your prescriptions and your doctors are not a conversation for a table anybody can overhear. If you would rather meet in person, our Fort Collins office sees clients by appointment.
We do not take walk-ins, so there is no front desk to get past and no waiting room.
