Stop letting administrative research cut into your selling time. Our VAs dive deep into carrier portals, summarize complex rules, and build your presentations.
Carrier Guideline Research
Navigating complex carrier documentation to extract specific underwriting rules (e.g., pre-existing condition wait periods, high-risk commercial limitations) to ensure client eligibility.
Quote Matrix Generation

Competitor Product Analysis
Researching and documenting new competitor policy launches, rate adjustments, or bundled benefits, ensuring your agency stays informed on market shifts.
Provider Network Checks
Searching carrier directories (e.g., Aetna, UHC, Humana) to confirm a client's specific doctors, specialists, or prescriptions are covered in-network before you pitch the plan.
Compliance & Licensing Track
Monitoring state Department of Insurance (DOI) portals for regulatory updates, tracking CE credits, and maintaining your agency's carrier appointment records.
CRM Data Enrichment
Taking raw research findings and updating client profiles in AgencyBloc, HubSpot, or Salesforce so your records always reflect the most accurate, up-to-date policy details.
Fluent in Insurance Platforms
Our VAs securely integrate into the leading quoting engines and CRMs used by top-producing brokers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do VAs access secure carrier portals?
Security is our priority. We mandate the use of secure password managers (like LastPass or 1Password) so your VA can log into carrier portals (UHC, Humana, etc.) or quoting engines without ever seeing your raw passwords. This ensures your agency's accounts remain completely secure.
Do they understand Medicare and ACA compliance?
Yes. While the VA does not sell policies (they are unlicensed), they are trained in back-office compliance. They know how to properly file Scopes of Appointment (SOAs), verify provider networks accurately, and adhere strictly to CMS guidelines regarding client data handling.
What happens if a quote matrix has an error?
This is the power of the Sagedoer managed model. Your dedicated Project Manager acts as an internal Quality Assurance layer. The PM audits the VA's research spreadsheets and quote matrices for accuracy against the source portals *before* the data is sent to your agents for review.
Can they scale up during AEP / OEP?
Absolutely. We designed our service for agency scalability. You can start with part-time support during the off-season and easily transition to full-time hours (or add additional VAs) during the Annual Enrollment Period rush, without worrying about recruiting or onboarding bottlenecks.
