Insurance Virtual Assistants: How They Can Benefit Your Agency

Updated: Sep 21, 2023

An insurance virtual assistant, or VA, is a remote worker who provides support to your insurance agency. Unlike official agency employees, VAs are typically individual contractors or employees of other companies that lease them to your agency. They may live overseas in countries like Mexico, the Philippines, or India, where there is a large pool of experienced talent for virtual assistant companies to recruit from.

A comprehensive overview of the top tasks that an insurance virtual assistant can perform to boost your agency's productivity.


The cost of hiring an insurance virtual assistant varies depending on their responsibilities. For an entry-level VA from a reputable insurance VA firm, the average monthly cost for full-time work ranges between $1800 - $3000. The location of your VA will also affect the cost, as the cost of living and expenses vary by country.


There are many benefits to using an insurance VA, such as their ongoing training programs that teach them the same technology platforms used by insurance agents. This allows you to hire pre-trained workers who are familiar with your agency management system and CRM. The benefit of not having to recruit and train new staff is a significant advantage.

1. Data entry/migration/reconciliation into your AMS/CRM

2. Underwriter warm-transfer

4. Endorsement processing

5. Email inbox management

6. New Business and Renewal quote preparation

7. Payment processing
