What BS.
I get a call from a lady today who say's I met with a client on Dec 7, 2012. I don't recall the name and she said it was in regards to her mother for medicare but obviously I was secret shopped by her daughter but they don't know the mother's name. She said she was from WellCare and that she needed a copy of the scope of appt that was signed. I let her know I'll go through my files when I get back to the office.
I asked if I did anything wrong and she said that I said she should go with PUP and not Wellcare and that I said going with PUP is better than Medicare. The client claimed I had her sign a scope but it was done at the appt.
On my way home, I'm freaking out because I don't tend to pay too much attention to scopes from clients that I don't sell but I had an idea of where it might be. I also start recalling the appt and how it was set. On the night of Dec 6 I get a call from a lady telling me that her mother is in desperate need to get into a MAPD plan because she's on just A&B and its too expensive. I let her know I'll be there first thing in the morning to get it situated and that Dec. 7 is the last day to pick up a plan.
Now normally I do go to appts that can't recall how they got my number or if they get my number from a company but I'm thinking, hey this lady needs to get this done, so I'm trying to be helpful on Dec 7!
I meet with her in the morning and let her know that I only represent PUP until Dec 8 so if she wanted to see Wellcare, I would be able to send out another agent for her and I had her sign the scope right then and there. She claims to love the PUP plan for her mother and had to leave to go pick her up at the airport in a couple of hours.
Fast forward 5 hours later, I'm still out that way (about 30 mins from my home) and she doesn't answer her phone. 5 mins later I get a text from her that the plane is running late and she really needs to get this done, I tell her, "no problem I'll wait out this way until you get close". She say's, "ok, I'll call you later".
Two hours later, I don't hear from her and I run my last appt for the night at 6pm and I'm out of there by 7:15, I even run by my parents house just to say hi and give the lady a little extra time.
No call back ever...
Now I find out she was a secret shopper! WTH. Why couldn't she just tell me no thanks?!?
Anyways, I get back to my office today and find the scope and fax it to wellcare. I know I never use absolutes, I always say, "In my opinion" but it's just my word vs hers.
I've learned my lesson, if you don't know how you got my number I will NEVER go out to see you.
