Bravo/MedAdv

[aheff]

Bravo Med Adv plan seems to be a very affordable option here in PA. I am not licensed with them-for some reason always found a reason not to business with Bravo. But it seems like I am losing a few apps a year to Bravo. Rethinking if I really want to tip my feet back into the Med Adv waters and start to have Bravo in my bag.
Thoughts?

Bravo took a lot of MA business that was formerly Keystone and Aetna in SE PA. That was maily because Keystone and Aetna apparently was trying to price themselves out of the market. Where in PA are you located? I ask because I believe is limited to only certain counties.

I am in Phila and surrounding counties. Bravo appears to do well with lower income prospects

Yep. Bravo is strong in Philly and the surrounding counties. They expanded for the 2010 enrollment.

Bravo is the ONLY REAL option in philly for MA...the others dont stand up at all unless a client goes to Lankenau or Jefferson.....and Jefferson does take Bravo for Duals. All other Hospitals and almost every doc in the area is in their HMO network.

and Bravo is great for all income levels....dont be fooled into thinking its only for low income. I have written a ton that dropped expensive employer plans for their premier product or the diabetic SNP which can be written all year by the way.

I am also from the Philly area and I have a lot of problems with them. The clients love the zero premium but once they need to use it they seem to hate it. I don't see a point in selling them anymore with the new Plan N. If they can't afford it then I guess I would give it to them but I try to avoid those situations. What other companies do you guys normally offer?
