My experience is that people don't generally bring up MA/MAPD. So, since I normally need to in certain situations, I'll go back.
Here is what I do when they can't afford a supp (i.e. when you walk in and they are shocked and dismayed that they'll need to pay $115 to Uncle Sam).
1. Find out about their income level, if appropriate (usually is) call with them for the LIS application. i.e. create trust, I just helped them get help on their costs - and I didn't not earn a dime for it.
-Also call about MPAP if appropriate.
2. Bring out the scope - schedule an appointment for a later date. Try to do it by the time you'll know about the LIS. When I know what assistance they qualify for, I'll be able to know what Supp or MAPD to help them with.
It's a process, but I'm not in this for the short-term.
Profitable? I just helped a guy get signed up with an MAPD using a special election period as a result of helping him get his LIS. Sometimes it is worth two visits, and I'm not worried about whether or not I was sorta compliant.
