Simple, transparent pricing.
$150 per active agent per week — no retainer, no fee for candidates you pass on, no charge when an agent is inactive. A small good faith deposit gets your search started and goes directly toward your first agents. No surprises.
When the fee may be different
Our standard rate is $150 per active agent per week. Several factors can make recruiting harder or easier, and the rate reflects that reality. Every rate is disclosed before you commit to anything.
Specialty agent requirements
Bilingual agents (Spanish, Mandarin, Creole, etc.), agents with dual licensure across multiple states, agents with both Medicare Advantage and DSNP/I-SNP experience, or other narrow specialty credentials shrink the available pool and require longer sourcing timelines. Fees for specialty placements may be higher to reflect that additional work.
High-difficulty markets
States with very limited licensed-agent pools. Alaska, Wyoming, Vermont, and similar small markets, involve more sourcing effort per placement than large markets like Florida or Texas. When demand significantly outstrips available supply in a given state, a modest adjustment may apply.
Volume arrangements
Agencies hiring five or more agents in a single engagement may qualify for a reduced per-agent rate. Volume discounts are negotiated before placement begins and documented in the placement agreement. Contact us to discuss what a volume arrangement looks like for your specific situation.
Agency-specific factors
Contract terms, carrier relationships, or onboarding complexity can occasionally affect the fee. If your agency has specific requirements that change the scope of what we do on your behalf, we'll discuss and agree on the appropriate rate before any work begins.
How it compares
Traditional health insurance recruiting and Medicare-specific staffing firms charge in ways that bear no relationship to how much value they delivered. Amerance is structured differently.
| Model | Typical cost per hire | Retainer / search fee | Pay if no hire? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amerance ($150/agent/week) | $150/agent/week active | Deposit credited to first agents | No active agent = no charge |
| Traditional recruiter (contingency) | 15–25% of first-year compensation | Often required | Retainer not refunded |
| Staffing agency | Markup on hourly/salary | Sometimes | Sometimes |
| Job board posting | $200–$500+ per posting | N/A | Yes, fee regardless of outcome |
A Medicare agent producing at average AEP volume earns in the range of $60,000–$120,000 in first-year commissions. A traditional contingency recruiter charging 20% of that would invoice $12,000–$24,000 for a single hire. Our per-agent weekly fee is a fraction of that cost, with no charge for agents you don't hire. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Common questions about pricing
How does the weekly fee work?
Active agent defined: an agent you've contracted with your agency and is currently onboarding or writing business. Candidates you review, interview, or pass on are never billed.
The fee is $150 per active agent per week. If an agent becomes inactive or you cancel, that agent's weekly fee stops. There is no retainer and no upfront search fee. Your good faith deposit is applied as credit toward the first weeks — so your first agents are covered before you pay anything more.
What if I receive candidates but don't move forward with any?
No charge. The weekly fee applies only to agents you've contracted and brought on. There is no fee for reviewing, interviewing, or passing on candidates.
Is the fee per agent or per engagement?
Per active agent, per week at $150. Each agent you've contracted is billed weekly while active. Once a contracted agent is no longer active, billing for that agent stops. Contact us to discuss Priority access or volume arrangements.
How do I know if my situation might trigger a rate adjustment?
Discuss your requirements when you submit your request. If anything about your needs — specialty credentials, market, volume, or timeline — suggests a different rate applies, we'll tell you before presenting any candidates. You'll never receive an unexpected invoice.
Is there a contract?
Yes. A straightforward service agreement is issued before any candidates are presented. It documents the weekly fee rate, any applicable adjustments, and the terms of the 30-Day Vetting Guarantee. You can review it before committing to anything. See our guarantee page for the full guarantee terms.
