Voice AI teams for medicare agencies.

careCycle is an AI workforce for medicare agencies and FMOs - helping leading agencies achieve 5x higher conversions, 37% better retention, and saving thousands of agent hours. We're transforming how Medicare agencies handle member relationships with teams of voice AI agents. We're solving the industry's biggest challenge: 50% annual member churn caused by poor post-enrollment engagement. Our multi-agent AI teams work together to handle the entire customer journey - from initial contact through enrollment and ongoing care. When a lead comes in after hours, one AI agent answers and schedules a callback, another calls at the perfect time, a third captures qualifying information, and a fourth handles the warm transfer to a licensed agent. This approach helped a leading FMO write over $2M in renewals during AEP 2024 while reducing agent talk time by 20% per sale. We've pioneered a purpose-built solution for Medicare's unique compliance requirements. Unlike generic AI platforms, our system features built-in HIPAA/CMS compliance, real-time data structuring, and seamless CRM integration. This enables agencies of all sizes to deliver enterprise-grade member care without massive infrastructure investments. Early metrics show the power of our approach: - 5x increase in after-hours conversion rates - 37% improvement in 90-day retention - 3,000+ agent hours saved in a single AEP - $2M+ in additional renewals during AEP 2024 The Medicare Advantage market represents a massive opportunity, with over $360B in annual premiums and growing 10% year over year. By solving the member retention challenge, we're positioning ourselves to capture significant value by transforming the member care experience for beneficiaries.

careCycle: Voice AI teams for Medicare Agencies
See original launch post ›

TL;DR careCycle provides AI voice teams that handle the entire Medicare member journey, helping agencies greet members by first name 24/7, and provide a space to feel heard.

In the process, we’re tackling the industry’s single biggest problem: churn. Our early customers are achieving 37% better retention while saving thousands of agent hours.

Medicare Agencies are Bleeding, and Seniors are Left in the Dark.

Medicare agencies face a devastating 50% annual member churn rate due to poor post-enrollment engagement. Licensed agents are forced to chase new sales instead of nurturing existing relationships, creating a vicious cycle that hurts both agencies and seniors.

It’s so bad that agencies we’ve spoken with actually lost money after selling thousands of policies in Q4 2024.

The Solution: Autonomous Member Care Teams that Make Seniors Feel Heard.

We've built multi-agent AI teams that work together across the full customer journey:

Pre-Screening:

Because of increasingly aggressive marketing angles used to generate inbound calls, agencies drop hundred or thousands of inbound calls each day.

On top of this, agents spend previous time speaking with beneficiaries who might not be eligible or interested in their plan, who are at risk of being sold something they will cancel anyway.

careCycle takes calls 24/7, pre-screening callers, and seamlessly warm transferring to available licensed agents to assist them. If nobody’s available, we simply schedule an appointment that another AI team member automatically fulfills.

Post-Enrollment:

Our AI teams play a critical roll in keeping customers up to date on their policy application; something a shocking number of agencies don't have time to do.

In the process, we'll provide them a space to feel heard and get any questions about their new plan answered.

After verifying the answer with a human-in-the-loop system, we deliver the message through another personalized and HIPAA complaint touchpoint.

Early Results

Since launching in Q4 2024, careCycle has:

  • Helped a leading FMO write over $2M in renewals
  • Talked with 50,000+ medicare beneficiaries
  • Saved 4,000+ agent hours
  • Achieved 5x increase in after-hours conversion rates
  • Improved 90-day retention by 37%

Why Now?

Before founding careCycle, I led GTM at AI Rudder, a leading horizontal voice AI company.

I saw firsthand how generic AI solutions failed in highly regulated industries like Medicare. agencies need purpose-built solutions that maintain strict compliance while delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Beyond expanding bandwidth for agencies, this technology allows us to invent new touch points previously unimaginable.
