Overview

AgencyBloc is an agency management system for health, benefits, senior and life insurance, launched in 2008 by a company in Des Moines, Iowa. Its core product, AMS+, serves independent agents, agencies and uplines such as GAs, IMOs and FMOs, with add-on solutions for commissions, marketing and small group quoting. It runs in the cloud and is sold as monthly packages priced per user, with a 7-day free trial.

Our take

Pick AgencyBloc if your book is Medicare, ACA, group benefits or life and you want compliance paperwork to live next to the policy record. If you write home, auto or commercial policies, look instead at a property and casualty system such as HawkSoft or Applied Epic, because that is not the market this one is built around. If you are an upline paying a downline, plan the budget around AMS+ plus Commissions+ rather than the package price alone.

Lines of business and markets
Health, benefits, senior and life: Medicare, individual and ACA health, group benefits, life and ancillary products, for retail agencies as well as uplines (GAs, IMOs, FMOs) that track downline agents and their business
Comparative rating and quoting
AMS+ connects to Medicare, ACA and benefits quoting and enrollment platforms such as SunFire, ConnectureDRX, Lead Advantage Pro, HealthSherpa and Employee Navigator. Quote+, a separate solution, shops small group medically underwritten, level-funded, community rated, ACA and ancillary quotes from multiple carriers and builds benefit proposals.

Personalized lead dashboards and pipeline management, lead import and lead vendor integration, lead forms and automated lead workflows, with automated lead assignment and routing from the Accelerate package; renewal dates are tracked with automations that alert policyholders and agents of record
Commissions and agency accounting
Commissions+ add-on: imports carrier data, builds rate tables and payee schedules, tracks bonuses, advances and overrides, generates agent statements, identifies missed carrier commissions and produces commission and financial reports
Compliance records and audit trail
Scope of Appointment, ACA Consent to Contact and ACA Attestations are sent, signed and stored in AMS+ with the status of each document tracked; the Elevate package adds VoIP with call recording and storage, and signed forms, recordings, notes and correspondence are tied to each policy as an audit trail
