Enhance Health has enrolled more than 600,000 people in Affordable Care Act (ACA) individual and family plans and Medicare Advantage plans.

The new executive hires bring experience from leading insurance brands and include the following:

• Larry Cassar, Senior Vice President of Sales; previously Chief Agency Sales Officer at Centene (Ambetter Wellcare).
• Tracy Faigin, Chief Marketing Officer; previously CMO at Friday Health Plans.

Started in 2021 with a capital commitment led by Bain Capital Insurance, Enhance Health has expanded exponentially as a record number of Americans enrolled in ACA health plans in 2022. With the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency ending next month, the company's licensed agents will also help enroll people who no longer qualify for Medicaid into ACA health plans. Enhance Health also plans to expand into additional insurance business lines and strategic partnerships.
