Medicare Advantage Brokers Survey – Agent & Enrollment Insights

$140 one-timerate as listed

Mercor is paying licensed Medicare Advantage agents and brokers $140 to complete a ~20-minute online survey combining multiple-choice questions with short voice-recorded answers. The study feeds an AI research lab's work on tools for Medicare plan selection, agent workflows, and member experience.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

What the work involves

This is a single research session, not ongoing work. You complete a structured online survey — roughly 20 minutes — that mixes multiple-choice items with short spoken responses recorded through your browser. The questions center on how you actually practice: how you qualify a beneficiary, how you compare plans across carriers, what you check on a formulary or provider directory before recommending a plan, how you handle SEP and AEP timing, and where the enrollment process breaks down for members. Voice answers are the point — the lab wants unscripted reasoning in your own words, not polished prose, so expect prompts like "walk me through your last complicated dual-eligible case."

What the platform screens for

Mercor verifies that you are a licensed health insurance agent or broker who personally enrolls clients in Medicare Advantage plans, and that you actively sold during the most recent Annual Enrollment Period. Independent agents, agency owners and principals, agency-employed agents, and tele-sales agents are all eligible; captive single-carrier employees are not. Screening typically probes for specifics that are hard to fake — carrier appointments, certification cadence, plan-type vocabulary, how commissions and CMS marketing rules shape your process. Vague or generic answers about "helping seniors with insurance" tend to end the screen early.

Logistics and pay

Fully remote, United States only, asynchronous — you complete it on your own schedule within the stated window
Requires a working microphone and a quiet room; background noise can invalidate a submission
Observed compensation is $140 as a one-time payment, released after the submission passes verification — not guaranteed, and partial or low-effort submissions are commonly rejected
Budget more than 20 minutes in practice: setup, mic check, and thinking through voice prompts add time

Treat it as a paid expert interview. The single largest driver of acceptance is whether your spoken answers contain concrete, case-level detail rather than industry generalities.

What they look for

Active health insurance producer license (US)
Direct experience enrolling clients in Medicare Advantage plans
Sold MA plans during the most recent AEP
Multi-carrier appointments (independent, agency, or tele-sales; not captive)
Comfort recording clear voice responses in a quiet environment
Working knowledge of CMS marketing rules, SEPs, formularies, and provider networks

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Verifying that the candidate holds valid, current licenses in the jurisdiction(s) where they work—not just that they've been licensed before or in a different state.
A strong answer: Name the specific state(s) where you're licensed, confirm your Medicare license is active in each, and specify if you've renewed recently or when renewal is due.
Where people lose it: Saying 'I'm licensed in multiple states' without naming them, or conflating a general health insurance license with a Medicare-specific one—the study requires Medicare authority.
