These mystery shops are offered each fall during the Annual Enrollment period for Medicare/Medicaid. Ideal for those who want to learn about current options for health care coverage, Field Agents will evaluate insurance sales agents’ professionalism and how informative they are in their sales pitches. Project types include formal and informal enrollment events, 1-on-1 appointments, and call programs (supporting all CMS focus languages for translation services).

OnSite Inspections

OnSite Inspections

Overseen by our top-notch team of OSI Coordinators, these revealed inspections involve visiting a business and verifying that the owners and employees are following the proper protocol and mitigating risk factors. Field Agents capture photos of items like locked filing cabinets, secured offices, shredders, and other business safeguards. A background check and OSI Certification is required of Field Agents for these projects, which are performed either in traditional office complexes or in personal residences.
