Simply Sell Medicare

To become a non-captive Medicare agent at Assurance, you will need:

• 3 State Licenses. We require a minimum of 3 active Health licenses, and we recommend 7-10 licenses.
• E&O Insurance. Active E&O Insurance is required to sell with Assurance.
• AHIP Certification. 1099 agents must have this year's current AHIP certification.
• Medicare Releases. If you are currently contracted with another FMO/Agency, you must be able to secure an Immediate Release.
• 1099 agents provide their own equipment. Laptop or computer with highspeed internet (20mbps download and 10mbps upload). Softphone-compatible USB headset.

We're glad you asked! Based on data from thousands of Assurance agents, here's how much our average 1099 (independent) agent earns per year, based on average "work hours per week".

Yes. If you are currently appointed with our carriers through another agency, you must request a release and get new appointments through Assurance. We've worked with thousands of agents and our specialized team is here to support you! We'll help you get the information you need for carrier contracting, certifcations, and appointments.

We offer a $50 discount on AHIP to agents who join Assurance by 9/15/2022. A link will be provided to you during your onboarding. Additionally, for submitting your first application during the first week of AEP (10/15/22-10/22/22), you will be eligible to receive reimbursement up to $125 for your AHIP certification.

There are no residuals. Instead, agents focus on volume-based sales from a steady stream of free, inbound, pre-screened leads. Compensation includes guaranteed sales bonuses. This is a non-captive agent position.

When you start selling at Assurance, you will get calls from shoppers across the country. The more state licenses you have, the more calls you can take. If you don't already have 3 state licenses, you must acquire additional licenses during your Assurance onboarding period.

You start earning money when you sell policies on our platform.

Specific to Annual Election Period (AEP), we have a call efficiency plan that pays you during AEP. You also receive the traditional post-AEP payments after AEP. It's like getting paid twice!

Around 4 months — much shorter than the industry average.
