AEP Over - No Prescription Cards or Confirmation Letter

[Russ]

Good for you! My style is low key... I don't push. If the client wants time to think on it overnite, so what... they realize that I am not there to shove something off on them, and the next day they mail it in. They like to feel they are in control.... they want to buy, they don't want to be sold.

Besides, Missouri is known to be the "Show Me" state.... that speaks volumes for the skepticism inherent in the population.

I don't push too often either. Just feel better mailing PDP applications in myself.

Yeah, me too. But how ya gonna do that when they insist on holding back without pressuring them?

Most of my problem applications come from just two items: The signature and the date, and that's all that's left for them to do. I fill out every other blank. How hard is that? and they even screw that up.

Although online enrollment would eliminate this, I have yet to figure out how to make a copy for my records from a laptop in the field without having to lug around a portable printer. I don't want to resort to that again.... a portable scanner would be smaller and lighter, and I could just scan a copy and save it to a file. Anybody have other suggestions?

I had a lady call me yesterday(Friday 01-02-09...that I had written a PDP plan on with Coventry on 12-15-2008), that went to her pharmacy and the copy of the application wouldn't work for her to get her prescriptions filled. I called the agent # with Coventry, 1-866-823-5177. Fortunately for me, a lady answered that knew what the heck to do. She gave me this number, 1-800-922-1557, for the pharmacy to call. She said all the pharmacy had to do was give the persons name and DOB and it would go through. I know it worked...I never heard back from the lady.

By the way, this ladies application had been approved for a 1-1-09 effective date.


Reading some of the other posts in this thread, I can honestly say I've never left an application with someone for them to mail in in my 24+ years in insurance. I'd rather mail it in myself.

Thanks for the phone #, I'm sure I'll need it.
