An agent selling Medicare products is only as good as the Medicare quoting tool they’re using. We’re looking at agents’ top options for fast and reliable Medicare quoting software and what makes them so special.
Many Medicare prospects and enrollees purchase or stick with a plan for one huge reason: its price, otherwise known as its monthly premium or rate. With all the Medicare products on the market, it can be hard for agents to keep track of the rates for all their carriers and their different plans. Luckily, many companies offer Medicare quoting tools that allow agents to enter their clients’ information and preferences and view their plan options, as well as specifics about the plans, like how much they cost.
If you use one of these types of tools (which we hope you do!), it’s absolutely essential for you to have a Medicare quote engine that you, and your clients, can trust for quick and accurate results. What are your best options?
The Ritter Medicare Quote Engine (MQE)
The Medicare Quote Engine (MQE) is a proprietary Medicare quoting tool for agent use only, offered by Ritter Insurance Marketing. While this tool is exclusive to agents registered with RitterIM.com, any agent can create an account with Ritter’s site for free and then use the quote engine.

Shop & Enroll’s Quote Engine
Shop & Enroll is another Ritter-exclusive Medicare quoting tool, but this one is also available for consumers to use! It’s best utilized when an agent has a Shop & Enroll site, which can also be used for marketing, generating leads (including collecting permission to contact and electronic Scopes of Appointment), and enrolling clients directly in major carriers’ plans online.
What sets it apart? This software is built into an agent’s Shop & Enroll site, which is CMS-approved, so the quote engine can be consumer-facing! Agents can sit and go through search results with their client looking at the screen or send clients direct links to a plan on the quote engine. If a client wants to a enroll in a Medicare plan online, they might even be able to do so directly through an agent’s site, depending on the carrier.
What can it do?
- Quote Medicare Advantage, Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug, Medicare Supplements, and prescription drug plans based on a client’s zip code and county and an agent’s contracts
- Show plan cards that include a plan’s rating, type, any costs associated with it, as well as a link to more plan details
- Filter results based on plan type, costs, and carrier
- Compare up to three like products (e.g., MAPD 1, MAPD 2, and MAPD 3) side by side
Is it dependable and trustworthy? YES! Quotes are only a click and a few seconds away. Results come from reliable resources, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and a private actuarial database.
How much does it cost? This state-of-the-art tool is also 100 percent free! Agents just need a qualifying Medicare contract through Ritter in order to get their own free Shop & Enroll site with the quote engine! Without their own site, agents and clients can still use ShopandEnroll.com to compare plans, but they won’t be able to complete online enrollments or use the site to its full capacity.
