Wendell

Wendell Cosgrove is the Compliance and Accounting Specialist at Sterling Insurance Group, overseeing agency bill processing, month-end accounting, and the development of standard operating procedures that keep the agency running with precision and consistency. He brings four years of insurance-specific experience to the role, supported by a professional foundation that is virtually unmatched in independent agency operations.

Before joining Sterling, Wendell spent over 40 years with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he served as a Contract Manager of Insurance Companies with Medicare Contracts and as Chief of the Financial Management Branch. In that capacity, he oversaw Medicare Fraud and Abuse, Medicare Secondary Payer Insurance, and Medical Review activities across the country, managing compliance, financial accountability, and regulatory oversight at a federal scale.

That background translates directly to Sterling's operational rigor. Wendell brings a command of insurance contract structures, regulatory compliance frameworks, and financial controls that is rare in any setting — and invaluable in an independent agency committed to doing things the right way. Clients and carriers alike benefit from the standards and systems he helps maintain behind the scenes.
