Spark’s mission is to help every senior take control of their health. To achieve this mission, we partner with the local independent agents who enroll millions of seniors into Medicare each year but who’ve historically had little support. We empower our agent partners with world-class software, unify together under the Spark brand, and work alongside agents to deliver their clients a concierge service for navigating Medicare and all their downstream health needs.
We are one of the fastest growing Medicare agencies in the country. We partner with the most experienced, service-minded, and mission-aligned agents and agencies on the market, and have been rewarded with incredible love and trust from agents serving tens of thousands of Medicare members across the country.
