Florida Med-Supp Agents....

[Russ]

I did some checking with the FL. DOI website. There's a page you can go to that will give you the status on insurance company filings in Florida...Form and Rate Filing Search (click link in middle of page that states..."search engine"). Then type in the company name...check both for filing type, then click search and the company will come up with each filing. For some reason I couldn't get anything to come up for United Healthcare.

Looks like MoO is filing for plans M and N in Florida with only one health question...about end-stage renal dialysis. Also, looks like the plans they will be offering in addition to M and N are...A...C...D...F...with the same rates as they are now.

I looked under Mutual of Omaha....file# 10-02277 is for the modernized med-supp plans. Shows it as still pending. Looks to me like it's close to being approved.

File# 10-02826....is the filing for plans M and N w/MoO in Florida.

Saves me a phone call bothering the FL. DOI. Amazing what you can find out over the internet. Now if they'll just approve the darn plans!

How can you tell if it is close to being approved in FLA? Just curious.

When clicking both "rates only" and "both", the filing # directly above #10-02277(modernized plans), which is #10-02260, has been approved.

I admit it may be wishful thinking on my part.

Looking at the FL. DOI, I don't see any company approved in Florida as of today on the modernized plans. I don't see where Bankers Life or Sterling Investors have even applied for modernized plans in Florida. And for some reason I can't get anything to come up w/BCBS of Florida or United Healthcare.

I see where United American....American Pioneer Life...and Humana are all pending on modernized med-supps in Florida. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out.

I'll be out...soon.... if the FL DOI doesn't get things approved.

Oh yeah....Gerber Life filed for med-supps in Florida in July of 2009. The first filing was withdrawn. They refiled in January. It's been going on for 8 months! I've had marriages that didn't last that long.

A Florida condo association finished a new pool 6 months ago and is still waiting for the state to send out an inspector. I heard Florida is only 36 Billion in the hole. Modernized plans and pools are not on their top ten to do list!

I'm not doubting you, but that's a load of BS on the FL. DOI's part. It's ridiculous. MoO's new modernized plans are virtually the same....same rate...same everything, except for an almost meaningless hospice benefit. New modernized plans with the various companies in Florida aren't pending, their sleeping.

I don't have much patience and when it comes to me making a living I have less with something as insignificant as this.

I finally found the status on UnitedHealthcare in Florida....for med-supps....pending.

I was typing in United Healthcare. It's one word...UnitedHealthcare.

Yeah, but how are they supposed to keep the bureaucrats, lawyers and other hard-working civil servants in Tallahassee working?

Make your protest at the only place it's effective...on election day.

On the FL DOI website.....

Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.....

Fair....Fast.....Professional.

 

[Russ]

From what I've read....The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has 30 days to review filings and if further questions are needed answering it can delay a decision for up to around 15 days.

Looks like MoO and AARP are getting close to being decided on....within the next 7-10 days or by the end of March. MoO's original filing date was February 10th. AARP was February 18th.

BCBS of Florida is simply filed as Blue Cross. They just filed for the modernized plans/rates yesterday.

Thats a joke! Been 17 days and still no paperwork from them for my nonresident license. I asked for a duplicate to be sent earlier in the week ( 6 days ago) still not here.

Verified address several times; it is correct.

Then, they give me a satisifaction survery to fill out.

I did; and no response from that.

No plans to retire in that state now
