Custom CRM for health insurance, off the per-seat treadmill.

Salesforce and HubSpot weren't designed for agent-heavy mid-size healthcare insurers — and the math shows it. We build custom CRM layers that wrap your existing policy, claims, and billing systems, and cover only the workflows your team actually uses. Year 2 typically lands ~30% below your prior CRM bill; Year 5 closer to ~50%.

What we build

Six things, in one engagement.

01

Policy lifecycle workflows

Quote → bind → renew → cancel state machine with automated reminders, agent assignment, and renewal one-click flows. Built around your real underwriting process, not the default Opportunity object.

02

Agent + broker management

License verification, territory and assignment rules, tiered commission engine, broker payout reconciliation — automated with full audit trail.

03

Client servicing console

Single agent surface for renewals, plan changes, claim escalations, document requests. Replaces the shadow inbox + spreadsheet workflow most insurance ops live in.

04

HIPAA-grade data handling

PHI encrypted at rest, least-privilege access, password rotation, 15-minute idle logout, immutable audit logs exportable to your SIEM.

05

Wraps your existing stack

Integrates with Guidewire / Duck Creek / Insurity / in-house policy systems, your claims platform, billing engine, broker portal. Keeps the parts that work; replaces only what doesn't.

06

Private-server deployment

Deploys on your infrastructure (cloud or private datacenter). No recurring per-seat SaaS fees. You own the code, the data model, and the integrations.

FAQ

Questions we get on the first call.

Do we have to leave Salesforce entirely?

Usually no. Our most common engagement is a custom layer that wraps the parts of Salesforce that work (Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Shield audit) and replaces the parts that don't fit (Opportunities → Policies, agent management, commission). Migration risk is much lower than a full platform replacement.

How quickly do we see savings?

Year 1 is typically flat-to-slightly-lower vs your prior CRM baseline — you're amortizing the build cost. Year 2 lands ~30% below. Year 3 lands closer to ~50%. Break-even on the total program cost (including build) typically hits in Year 4.

What's the typical build cost and timeline?

For a 150-employee mid-size insurer with 3 existing system integrations, the build is 6 months at $150K–250K fixed-price. Add 2 weeks of audit beforehand at no cost. After build: $40K–80K/year ongoing maintenance plus reduced internal admin headcount.

What about HIPAA?

BAA-ready from day one. PHI encrypted at rest (AES-256, customer-managed keys) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Audit logs immutable and exportable to your SIEM. Deploys on HIPAA-eligible AWS, Azure, or your private infrastructure.

Can you support Medicare-specific workflows (AEP, OEP, MBI)?

Yes. We've shipped CRMs with full AEP/OEP enrollment cycles, Medicare Beneficiary Identifier handling, healthcare proxy assignments, and primary care physician routing as first-class data model elements — not custom fields on a generic Account object.

How is this different from Salesforce Health Cloud?

Health Cloud is a Salesforce package — you still pay per-seat for every user. For agent-heavy ops where 70% of users only need a thin workflow surface, the seat math still doesn't work. A custom layer covers the same use cases at a fraction of the recurring cost, and you own the code.
