Every client presents a different set of needs,whether I like a company or not I tend to get licensed with every one of them in my area regardless of commission. There is always someone who hates, Humana or loves United- they all have customer service problems esp during open enrollment, count on Murphy's law to be in effect.
Doctors can be resistant to accepting PFFS not because its bad for their practice but because the geniuses in their billing departments dont want to have to do any extra work- it's ultimately easier to just bill the PFFS, but they are trained to bill medicare and a supplement and so anything else is a bother and they simply dont want to be bothered.
Case in point,when Part D came out I offered to give doctors offices a free formulary to each plan I was representing to help transition their patients. Every doctors office I called told me they were too busy to bother checking formularies and patients would just have to take whatever the doctors prescribed. They wonder why insurance premiums go up!
This is absolutely worthy of saying. Thank you. And Policy Doctor, thanks for the heads up on the form we can give them. I have to find that.
