Medicare Connecture Comparison: Sunfire vs Connecture vs MyMedicarebot

There are many different quote and enrollment programs that agents and agencies can use to assist their perspectives and beneficiaries find plans, compare plans, enroll in coverage, and even find doctors and hospitals in-network. Three of the most commonly used are SunFire Matrix, Connecture, and MyMedicarebot.

What they have in common

All three of these online programs are free to use for agents with Crowe and Associates and can be accessed through connect4medicare.com. Additionally, all three platforms work in a similar manner. They allow agents to quote and compare plans and enroll clients without the need for a face-to-face meeting. Here are some of the features they have in common:

Basic CRM functions that can save client information, applications, scope of appointment documents, drug lists, and plan history
Ability to text or email plan comparisons to prospective clients
To run doctor and drug lists against plans to see which has the most comprehensive coverage
Record all phone calls in compliance with the CMS regulations (updated for 2024)
Enroll prospects over the phone with text or email
Ability to see and compare all plans even if the agent is not contracted with that carrier

Much of what these programs do is interchangeable, but they are different programs and thus have some individual features.

Medicare Connecture Comparison – Sunfire, Connecture, MyMedicareBot

SunFire Matrix

SunFire Matrix’s press says that they provide transformative and proven technology solutions to support the Medicare landscape. Their software has been used to secure coverage for over 50 million senior citizens. Due to their size, they can collect and distill data from more than 80 insurance carriers, offering a total of more than 1300 Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug insurance plans. Like the other programs on this list, SunFire can save the prospective’s personal information in order to identify the ideal plan with the lowest annual cost for an agent to enroll them in.

Connecture (Medicare Connecture Comparison)

Connecture is advertised as the most personalized software for quotes and enrollment for agents and agencies. It is also referred to as Connect4Medicare. The idea behind this level of personalization is that it helps not only drive enrollment, but helps protect against dissatisfaction and plan disenrollment as well. Connecture is a commonly-used platform for small to mid-sized agencies. They are also the largest Health plan-FMO-Agent distribution network in Medicare and thus can provide access to more information than some of the smaller software companies.

MyMedicareBot

MyMedicarebot is yet another software program that can quote and enroll prospective clients. However, they are unique on this list in that they have the ability to record both sales and enrollment calls in compliance with the CMS regulations for AEP 2024 and have integrated call analytics for agent and agency usage. MyMedicarebot also offers a Portfolio Analytics and Consulting feature that can distill data from CMS, competitive marketing intelligence, and the unique user membership and identify the best markets and prospects. This level of personalization is meant to optimize sales and retention.

While all three of these commonly used software programs have the ability to do the basics of quotes and enrollment for agents and agencies, they all have certain individual features that may make one a better choice than another, depending on the agency’s needs.
