Medicare and ACA agents do not just need another business phone line.

They need a simple way to record calls, keep SOAs organized, store ACA consent records, save supporting documents, and retrieve everything later if a carrier, agency, CMS reviewer, or compliance team asks for it.

That is why we built Business Line + Vault for licensed insurance agents.

It gives agents a dedicated recorded business line plus a secure vault for:

Call recordings

Electronic Scope of Appointment records

Telephone SOA / voice signature records

ACA consent and eligibility review documentation

Telephonic enrollment records

Uploaded sales documents

The goal is simple: keep the call and the compliance record together, instead of scattered across phone apps, PDFs, emails, folders, and disconnected systems.

Built for independent Medicare and ACA agents who want more control over their own records.

🚨 The 48-Hour SOA Rule is OFFICIALLY GONE. 🚨

CMS just released the 2027 Final Rule, and the mandatory 48-hour waiting period for Scope of Appointments is eliminated! You can now compliantly hold same-day appointments.

But there is a catch: if you are meeting a beneficiary in-person, the SOA still must be agreed upon and documented in writing before the personal marketing appointment begins.

If you are a solo agent, you can't afford to be fumbling with paper. Having a lightning-fast digital SOA delivery, signature, and storage tool is going to be your biggest asset for same-day appointments this coming AEP.
