Medico's New Hosp Ind Plans

[houcoogster]

Did any of y'all watch the webinar yesterday? What do you think about their new products?

I think it will have a place. Option 1 allows you to get the price down to under a dollar a day which will come in handy with MAPD Clients. I think the Option 2 will get a lot of traction with Under 65 Health Plans especially with ACA plans. Option 3 is too expensive.

I think the product will fit nicely for both Medicare Advantage and Exchange consumers. I agree that option 3 will probably price a lot of people out. Most agents that I've talked to about the plan feel like it will be a strong competitor to GTL.

Bill what are the main improvements compared to GTL if any?

The ability to go down to 6 day benefit period as opposed to GTL's 10 or 21 day option is the main benefit I see.
