What will you do as a Medicare sales agent?
You'll help people turning 65, and seniors already on Medicare, figure out which coverage fits their health, their doctors, and their budget. Medicare is confusing for most people, and a patient, clear agent makes a real difference.
Who will you be talking to?
Seniors and their families who have already reached out for help. The agency works warm leads, so your day is spent on conversations with people who want to talk, not on dialing strangers.
What does the work involve day to day?
- Guide seniors through their Medicare options
- Build relationships and give every client excellent service
- Work warm leads from people who have already asked for help, with no cold calling
Do you need an insurance license to start?
Not to apply. You do need one before you can sell, and the agency helps you get there.
Which Texas license do Medicare agents need?
Federal law requires Medicare Advantage plans to use state-licensed agents. In Texas, Texas Department of Insurance rules designate the general life, accident, and health agent license, commonly called the General Lines Life, Accident, Health and HMO license, as the license type that qualifies. That means a state exam and fingerprinting through TDI, and the agency's paid training is built to get you through it.
What does Medicare certification add?
On top of your state license, the Medicare plans you sell will require their own Medicare training and certification before you can enroll anyone in their products. The agency covers Medicare certification fees and exam costs, so you won't pay for them yourself.
How do Medicare marketing rules shape this job?
Medicare sales is one of the most regulated corners of insurance, and the rules work in your favor if you're the kind of person who'd rather help than hard-sell. Under 42 CFR 422.2264, Medicare Advantage plans and their agents can't make unsolicited door-to-door visits or unsolicited phone calls to beneficiaries. That's why this agency builds its business on warm leads.
The calendar matters, too. The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15 to December 7 each year, when beneficiaries can change their coverage for the following year. That's the busiest stretch of the year for Medicare agents.
What does this Medicare sales job pay?
The agency pays a $20 per hour base, so you have steady income while you learn, plus uncapped commission and weekly bonuses. For a national benchmark, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a May 2025 median wage of $62,280 for insurance sales agents, and $73,440 for those working at direct health and medical insurance carriers. BLS counts commissions and production bonuses in those figures. They're national numbers, not this agency's offer.
What do you get with this offer?
Here's what the job does for you, all confirmed by the agency:
- Earn steady income while you learn with a $20 per hour base, so your paycheck doesn't hinge on closing a sale right away.
- Build your earnings with no ceiling through uncapped commission and weekly bonuses.
- Get licensed without paying out of pocket, with paid training plus Medicare certification fees and exam costs covered.
- Spend your day helping people, not cold calling, because the agency works warm leads only, from seniors who have already asked for help.
- Stay covered while you build your book with health, dental, and vision benefits.
- Grow your career, not just your paycheck, with room for advancement inside a fast-growing agency.
- Start with no experience and no license, since the agency trains you and asks only for a high school diploma or equivalent.
Who is a good fit for this role?
People who like people. Former customer service reps, call center agents, retail associates, and anyone who has helped a parent or grandparent sort out their Medicare tend to do well here. You'll need:
- Strong people skills
- Basic computer skills
- Self-motivated and eager to learn
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Eligible to work in the United States
Fluency in Spanish and English is a plus, since bilingual agents can help Spanish-speaking seniors and their families in the language they're most comfortable with.
