Client ratings on InsureGrades
Ratings are four 1 to 5 star scores left by signed-in consumers, one per agent, published immediately and shown anonymously. Averages are published here once at least 25 ratings exist, so no figure rests on a handful of scores.
Public prospect datasets
Searchable in Prospect Finder on Professional and Elite plans. Counts are the database's current row estimates; the rounded figures we quote in marketing are 826,000+ plans, nearly 2 million carriers and 1.9 million healthcare organizations.
| Dataset | Source | Rows | Refresh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare organizations | CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) | 1,980,583 | monthly |
| Employer group benefit plans | U.S. Department of Labor Form 5500 filings | 825,636 | annual filing cycle |
| Motor carriers | FMCSA motor carrier census and insurance filings | 1,999,930 | monthly |
Sources and how to cite
Listings and lines of authority come from state insurance department public licensee files (Florida first, more states as each regulator's file is loaded). Verification is against the NIPR Producer Database. Ratings are first-party. Prospect datasets are U.S. Department of Labor, FMCSA and CMS public filings. Every figure on this page is an aggregate; no individual's record is published here.
