Getting started with the Plan Recommendation Engine
The Plan Recommendation Engine is one of the most powerful features of Agentahub. Using client information collected by a simple and intuitive form, Agentahub uses a powerful algorithm to match and rank clients with the right Medicare plan. With millions of data point aggregated into one feed, Agentahub finds the plans that covers a client's doctors and has the lowest drug costs.
Step 1
Collect Client Information
Open a client's detail record to start the collection process. To add a new client, click the "New" button on the top-right corner of any screen.
An agent can send a client the evaluation form for them to submit. The agent can also click the "Complete By Agent" button to add in the client information themselves. We recommend you start by adding in a current client’s information to quickly try out the “Analysis” tab of the Plan Recommendation Engine.
Step 2
Review Medicare Plans
Once the client evaluation form has been completed, you can click on the “Analysis” tab to view the recommended plans. The Analysis tab has several different features and views to help you find the right plan for your client.
Navigating the Plan Recommendation Engine Analysis
The Analysis tab includes several different ways to view recommended plans. Including:
- 1
The Plan Recommendation Engine includes matches against Advantage Plans and RX Plans. The top-right toggle switches between these plan types.
- 2
The results can be viewed in the three ways.
Condensed - the default view that shows the top-6 matched plans with aggregate totals of doctors in network and plan costs.
Expanded - allows you to see the top-6 matched plans with full details on which doctors are specifically in network and the detailed plan cost breakdown.
Select Plans - a table view that shows all searched plans. You can navigate this list and select the six plans you wish to include in your proposal.
- 3
The Year dropdown in the top left corner allows you to view the analysis across years. By default, the current year is displayed.
Understanding the Recommendation Analysis
The Analysis of the Advantage and Drug plans are presented in an easy to explore format. Here are the four main components of the analysis.
- 1
Plans are scored against a custom algorithm that factors in doctors in network and drug costs. The patient's primary doctor is weighted more heavily than specialist doctors.

The “Doctors in Network” and “Plan Cost” sections show the details on which physicians are in-network and the estimated costs for the different parts of the plan.
