Shit is hitting the fan and the last twi years are coming to fruition. Bankruptcies layoffs mortgage delinquencies. Its all here.

You should definitely quit Medicare. I’m serious. I’m excited to see the herd thinned.

I don’t think you’ve worked for any of these carriers. First, they don’t have enough of their own agents to handle the enrollments they need each year. Second, their cost per acquisition is no cheaper than via brokers. It’s often higher.

If they pinch brokers, it’ll be soft dollars and overrides.

Dr OZ…. MAPD Cuts are coming.

Doctors dont like MAPD payment structure which will be a downhill spiral financially for insurers. Removing freebies and comp to agents will be cost cutting measures. Common sense.

Actually it does.

Your doctor has to order it or prescribe it before you get it.

Same thing.

The dinosaur without computer is gone. Brokered Agents are going to be extinct as well. All “in house” hourly employed agents w 50.00 bonus for an enrollment already happening.

Sorry, but you cannot compete w Walmart.

Artificial intelligence is the next agent My question is CMS Dr OX going to require robot enrollees to take AHIP for 175.00 ?????? Lmao

Why are you spending so much time on this board if you “quit this crap in 2007”?

He comes around every AEP to complain about AHIP. And then he repeats that commissions are going to zero. We’ve heard from him for at least the last 5 years. You gotta learn to ignore someone who is just bitter and that he couldn’t hack it in this business.

Trying to stir up shit like the rest of them. While we are out putting millions more on MAPD’s they are all here trying to bash them and convince themselves they are better off then we are. I work 8 weeks a year and golf and travel the other weeks. What a terrible business to be in, Especially when I have to take an hour a year to do AHIP which an 8th grader could pass.

I consider myself very proficient with the computer. In most cases involving insurance I don’t fully understand I am always on the phone talking with an agent. The younger generation is even dumber and have to be spoon fed everything. They scroll the computer but don’t use it to actually research or gain knowledge. Our jobs will be fine. People are getting dumber not smarter.
