Final Countdown

The final days of Medicare Advantage season are upon us. What we have learned so far:
  • MA season has been dynamite for those agents that decided to dive in.
  • There has been so many changes in plans that there is a very large number of prospects and many agents simply will run out of time. Too many beneficiaries to call.
  • Carriers are really favoring top producers. Coventry has "favored agent" status and is funneling free leads to these agents.
  • Stay in the stores. United Health Care has in-store kiosks for Walgreens and others. These are hotspots!

Plus:

  • MA season has been a literal gold mine for Medicare Supplements. We are having are best year ever!
  • Plan N is the hot ticket - guaranteed issue with one carrier.
  • Recently introduced Forethought has likely the lowest rates for Plan F in most states.

Best is yet to come . . . . . Disenrollment Season:

  • Starting in January, clients dissatisfied with their MA plan have a limited time to disenroll from MA and make a one-time switch to a Original Medicare and purchase a Med Supp.
  • This new season will be a boomer for agents selling Med Supp. The record setting pace of Med Supps will continue into the New Year.

Merry Christmas!
