The IHA Slack: Where deals get unsuck and tips turn into commissions.
Every IHA agent gets free access to our private Slack workspace — a working room where Medicare, ACA, group, and ICHRA producers swap carrier intel, plan-design tactics, and lead-generation tips that quietly pay for themselves dozens of times over.

IHA staff online daily
A real working room — not a marketing channel.
Spark is a technology-enabled brokerage purpose-built for top Medicare producers and agencies. Instead of paying for a CRM, a quoting tool, a marketing tool, a commission tracker, and a contracting portal — you get them all in one place, for free, with a team that actually answers the phone.
Sub-15-minute response times
Every channel has at least one IHA staff member and a handful of veteran agents watching during business hours. Most carrier-intel and plan-design questions get a useful answer in under 15 minutes.
Built-in lead-handoff agreements
Got a lead outside your specialty or state? Hand it off to an IHA peer who can write it — a 25% override gets locked in for the life of the case so you still get paid for the referral.
The carrier intel you won't get from a rep
RTS shutdowns, comp changes, system outages, formulary tricks — agents hear about them from each other in #carrier-alerts hours before the carrier emails an official notice.

You don't join the IHA Slack. You earn a seat.
This isn’t a public broker forum or another LinkedIn group. It’s a closed working room where 200+ vetted producers share carrier intel, override leads, and AEP playbooks in real time. Signal density only stays high because we keep the door narrow — and the agents inside fight to protect it.
ACTIVE PRODUCTION
"Thinking about it" doesn't open the door. We confirm carrier appointments and recent production before review. Tire-kickers don't get a Slack login.
MANUAL REVIEW
No bots, no contracted screeners. A member of IHA leadership reads every application and approves or declines. Reviews happen weekly during AEP, monthly off-season.
MEMBER VOUCH
An existing member's vouch moves you up the queue. Producers we already trust tend to know other producers we'll trust. A short intro from an existing member fast-tracks you past the review backlog.
HARD CAP
Capped at 250 to protect signal quality. Once we hit cap, new admits replace inactive members. We'd rather have 200 producers who answer in 15 minutes than 2,000 lurkers turning the channel into noise.
