HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Extend Health, operator of the nation’s largest private Medicare exchange, today opened its second Texas service center at 785 Greens Parkway, in Houston, Texas. Extend Health is hiring up to 200 seasonal benefit advisors and customer care representatives at its new Greenspoint location.
“The jobs Extend Health is bringing to District B will provide numerous economic opportunities to the residents of our district and will have a significant impact on the future grow and development in the Greenspoint area,” says Houston City Council Member Jerry Davis. “These 200 jobs will spur growth in housing and education dollars and will help to increase the quality of life of many individuals who will now be able to support themselves, their families and their community.

Job Fair
- Dates: Thursday, July 26–Saturday, July 28
- Times: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Location: 785 Greens Parkway
Interested applicants with current life and health insurance licenses as well as those who would like to become licensed are asked to submit an application online at the career center on the Extend Health website before attending the job fair.
“As a native of Texas, I know that the Houston area is a great place to locate a business because outstanding people live and work in the Greater Greenspoint District,” says Bryce Williams, Towers Watson Managing Director of Extend Health. “When people think about a health insurance exchange, they often think first about a website. But an exchange is more than just a website. The investment Extend Health has made in online, back-end and call management systems is fully complemented by the capital of human intelligence and caring we have in our benefit advisors.”
Benefit advisors provide the knowledgeable and patient voice that retirees and customers hear on the other end of the telephone line and are the direct point of contact for the individuals Extend Health serves. Benefit advisors hold life and health insurance licenses and offer a higher degree of Medicare expertise than most employers can offer to retirees and employees through their Human Resources departments.
Benefit advisors take the time to understand callers’ needs and help them find and enroll in Medicare plans that are tailored to each caller’s unique circumstances, including finding the most competitive national or regional plan at the lowest possible cost. They help take the worry and stress out of the process of selecting Medicare plans.
The seasonal benefit advisors hired at the Greenspoint service center will bring the number Extend Health employs in Texas to over 500. Extend Health held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its first Texas service center at 1350 N. Glenville Dr. on May 25, 2012. Extend Health has a third service center in South Jordan, Utah, which is hiring an additional 250 seasonal benefit advisors, bringing the total employed there to over 500. Corporate headquarters for Extend Health are located in San Mateo, California.
