SAP 045: Medicare Advantage Agent Adding Medicare Supplements

Often lately, agents who had spent their entire Medicare career solely focused on Medicare Advantage are starting to add Medicare Supplements to their product offerings.

Sometimes coming from a captive organization where MAPD was the only thing they could sell, they often have difficulty making the transition into offering Medicare Supplements.

This video covers the integration of Medicare Supplements into an MAPD-only focused agent’s practice and the fact that asking for the sale is a slightly different animal when a monthly premium is involved.

SAP 026: Medicare Supplement Marketing Tips from the Fair

At the Coastal Carolina Fair in Charleston, SC, I saw some very interesting similarities between the marketing tactics employed by the fair and those used by some insurance agents in the Medicare Supplement market.

Captive agents think that, somehow, every person can fit within their plans. This is often like fitting a square peg into a round hole. It is not always a good idea to attempt it!

Independent Medicare agents find the best solution in any local market and provide full transparency in the process. This allows the senior client to trust that they not only have the BEST available plan in their market, but they also know that this agent can continue to shop the market in the future, if their rate increases get out of the norm with their chosen carrier.
