Enrollment model fitPhone-based, field, or hybrid. OEP-focused or year-round SEP. We match to your actual workflow, not just geography.

ACA runs on two clocks

Unlike Medicare, ACA has a year-round lane (SEP) alongside its annual surge (OEP). A well-staffed ACA agency keeps both running.

Open Enrollment

November 1 – January 15

The annual surge. Most ACA enrollments happen in this window. Agencies that wait until October to hire find the licensed candidate pool thin. Start recruiting 8–12 weeks out to have trained agents writing business by November 1.

Special Enrollment — Year-Round

Qualifying life events

Job loss, marriage, new child, move, income change — SEP triggers don't take a break. Agencies with year-round agents can enroll consistently across all 12 months. This is where sustainable ACA businesses are built.

How it works

Four steps from first contact to working with an agent.

1

Tell us what you need

States, volume, OEP vs year-round, Standard or Priority tier. Takes minutes via the request form.

2

We source and vet

We pull from our pipeline and verify license, FFM cert, and release status for every candidate.

3

You receive matches

Qualified candidates arrive within days, not weeks. Priority clients are worked first each week.

4

Hire who fits

Interview and contract whoever meets your standards. A placement fee is due only when you hire.

Find ACA agents by state

We recruit in every state that uses the federal Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) and all state-based exchanges.
