Marketing to seniors turning 65

I believe the LIS threshold is actually $30 this year.

It may have recently changed to that. Wouldn't be surprised with all the other changes that keep happening.

When I did the Humana training though, we were told it is only $20 and that is why Humana raised their basic PDP cost to $24 this year. Humana decided they don't want to have their plans available to medicaid and raised the costs so they don't qualify. How thoughtful of them, way to help

The threshold is different by States. Here in Ky/In the level for 2009 is $34/mo. Humana raised their rate to $42/mo. They are sending letters to the LIS folks telling them that they will have to pay $8/mo for their PDP plans next year.

Anthem/Wellpoint is sending letters stating that the LIS will have to pay $3.90/mo. for the plan.

Someone listed the entire threshold beakdown here a week or so ago.

Craig Ritter has listed all the LIS limits by state on his blog at www.ritterim.com. I think it was posted about a month ago.
