Spark Client Services

Let Spark’s team of healthcare experts help resolve many of your clients’ issues on your behalf.

Think of our Client Services team as an extension of your support team that helps your clients navigate their coverage. We'll handle all of your client requests – quickly, thoroughly, and always on behalf of your agency. We will help you get more referrals, retain clients, and give you peace of mind.

Team members of the Client Services team are referred to as “Navigators.”

Service Limits

  • We operate this service at no cost — and agents love it! To ensure that we’re able to serve all agents, we have a maximum annual limit of 50 free support requests (we start counting on Jan 1).
  • You will be notified by Spark upon reaching 45 support requests. You will have the option to add another batch of 10 support requests for $300. You cannot buy partial support requests, such as purchasing 5 for $150, but you may purchase in increments of 10 (e.g. 50 for $1,500).
  • Note: if a client calls Spark and the issue cannot be resolved on the phone and requires a follow up, we will create a support request that counts towards your 50 limit balance.
    • If the issue can be resolved on the phone, we do not count the support request regardless of how long the call takes.

About Our Team

  • All Navigators are U.S.-based with prior experience in customer service and/or related healthcare roles
  • Training is 3 weeks, followed by an introductory period of 2 weeks during which a new Navigator is partnered with a tenured one. Detailed team training points can be found below.
