I'm early in the process of exploring opportunities in selling Medicare products. To date, this is absolutely the most helpful video for prospective agents and New Horizons is now top of list for FMO/IMO to interview. Thank you so much!
This is good stuff. You know it’s funny how you said you can’t sell to the add on benefits, but that’s all the TV commercials and Facebook ads do. That’s why they initially call in.
It's Dec 7, 2023, brand new to Medicare and just approved to sell by the carrier on Dec. 5, 2023. Talk about pressure!! I passed AHIP 3 weeks ago. I feel like I'm on an island because I am having to push to get any help or the resources I need from carrier and the FMO.
Yeah Dec. 5 is really too late to do much of anything! If you need help, reach out to us after January 1, and we can talk about any changes you might want to consider. Thanks!
Because of their cookie-cutter platform, it could be said that Medicare Supplement products are easier to explain as a commodity. In other words they are identical in nature and distinguished by price. Medicare Advantage is not based on a cookie-cutter platform and can be distinguished by their plan benefits as well as their ancillary offerings
CMS governs all Medicare products including Medicare Supplements. The marketing guidelines that are reviewed annually are reserved for Medicare Advantage products as well as the PDP portion of the enrollment.
What the heck? I am getting so many unsolicited calls a day. I guess no one is paying any attention to the fact that this is not allowed. What can I do to make the calls stop. It’s so annoying.
Technically you'd have to end the call. You can explain that it's a government requirement and not optional, but ultimately if they refuse you'd have to end the call to remain compliant.

If we door knock T-65 leads to discuss med supps and they ask about MAPD would we then hand them a SOA? And then proceed at the later appointment?
Hi Kevin, yes you are correct. You'd have to use the SOA and schedule an appointment for at least 48 hrs later.
Am I correct in assuming that Med Sup plans take much less time to explain and write than Advantage plans?

Did I hear that right... CMS doesn't apply to Supplements??
CMS governs all Medicare products including Medicare Supplements. The marketing guidelines that are reviewed annually are reserved for Medicare Advantage products as well as the PDP portion of the enrollment.
So SOA doesnt have to be done 48hrs in advanced?
SOAs are still applicable in all cases with the exception of the beneficiary being within 4 days of the end of their election period.

What if the customer doesn’t want the call to be recorded? Do you have to end the call, or can you continue without recording?
Technically you'd have to end the call. You can explain that it's a government requirement and not optional, but ultimately if they refuse you'd have to end the call to remain compliant.
I can call abput Medicare supplement plans
Yes, that is correct.
Misleading title. That is far from a full appointment roleplay.
Don't it's a scam.
What's a scam?
