Occasionally I run into people that qualify for Medicaid, but never bothered applying. Same with extra help. Do they have to wait for an award letter before they would qualify for SEP?
They just need to be in the system as LIS...

Love the enthusiasm! That's fades pretty quickly once you get to the part in the MA certification process about "unsolicited contacts." I remember thinking, "Great, my career is over before it's even started!"
Keep in mind though, even with a 40% MA penetration rate, that means the majority still have Med Supps! And if you go get top contracts with the most competitive plan F, G, & N's in your area, you can still clean up! Just don't pick up United Healthcare. They are the only one I know that makes you sign off that you won't solicit medicare beneficiaries.
Yep! But some people still want it even after you show them you can get them a better price. It's a brand thing for some people.So you are saying that they wont allow me to telemarket and solicit medsupps for their company? Is this the UHC/AARP medsupp?

I'll write it only if they bring it up first and I can't talk them out of it!
That is soooooooooooooooooo stupid. Not sure if I want them now, I was getting ready to add them. I use telemarketing almost 90% to generate leads, if I cant write UHC/AARP whats the use of having them, unless you mean I lead with another company, then if they ask about AARP then I can talk about them, can you let me know if that is correct? Thanks. By the way, all my marketing is vanilla and non brand specific if that matters.
Using mailers, Internet leads are ok and changing previous clients is ok and FE clients are ok too
The only thing you would have in issue with is cold calling or unsolicited contact
Not really sure how it plays where you lead with another company and say there are some conditions where they don't qualify but AARP will take them
That is something I would like to know myself as I am exploring some different types and may try some telemarketer
AARP Is a must in some states
Also AARP will take some hard cases no other carrier will take
They are a great tool to have in the tool box
but not meant to be the whole tool box
Hmmmm, well isnt this a pickle!! I mean its a med supp, not a MA plan. Ill go ahead and get them.
What's wrong with Medicare advantage?To the OP yes there are more than enough people not only turning 65 each day to last throughout the year, but also those who already have Med supps that you can help to save money on their premiums by changing plans/companies. Med Supp to Med supp changes do not apply to the AEP, leaving massive opportunity year round.
They key, however, is to be able to find those people both in AEP and out. I've done just Med Supps for the last 5 years with no desire to get into MAPD's until it's absolutely necessary, which hopefully it never will be.
Best Wishes!
