Strict TCPA and CMS adherence on every call. Recording, disposition, and consent capture run through your stack with full audit trail.
Volume that flexes around AEP
Add 30 seats by August 1, peak through October-December, drop back to a steady T-65 cohort in January. No facility lock-in.

Who we support in Tampa
From Tampa-headquartered FMOs to multi-state Medicare brokerages, the operators we support handle MA enrollment, Med Supp comparisons, and T-65 outreach across multiple carriers. Tampa's senior-skewing demographics make it ground zero for compliant outreach: TCPA scrutiny is heavier here than almost anywhere.
Tampa-St. Pete sits in one of the densest Medicare Advantage markets in the country, with over 900K Medicare beneficiaries in the broader region and aggressive carrier marketing every AEP. We staff outbound qualification, inbound from carrier mailers, T-65 outreach, and OEP cleanup with the same trained team rolling between campaigns.

FAQ
Tampa medicare buyer questions
Are your agents licensed to sell Medicare in Florida?
No, and that's intentional. Our agents qualify and warm-transfer to your licensed closers, running CMS-compliant qualification scripts (intent, zip, plan type, effective date) so your licensed bench in Florida handles the actual sale. This keeps you compliant and lets you scale outreach without scaling your licensed agent count.
How fast can we go live for Tampa medicare outreach?
Standard ramp is 7 to 10 business days from contract for an initial cohort. We can scale to 25-50 seats over 4-6 weeks if you commit early enough, which usually means signing in July or August for an October 15 AEP launch. The bottleneck is almost always your dialer setup, not our hiring.
How does pricing compare to Tampa-based call centers?
Per-hour, fully loaded, $14-$22 depending on agent seniority and language requirements. Compared to Tampa's loaded onshore cost (typically $28-$45/hr once you account for benefits, attrition, and facilities), most of our Medicare clients see 40-60% TCO savings.
Do you cover Eastern hours and Florida compliance specifics?
Yes. Our shifts are staffed natively on Eastern (ET), not on graveyard rotations, and we run state-specific compliance overlays so Florida TCPA exposure stays clean. We can also sign a BAA on request and document our HIPAA training program for your auditors.
