Shocking But True!

[FLM2]

I've only written about 5 Exchange apps, all through healthcare.gov, and really never expected to get paid for any of them.

4 of them are with Florida Blue, I've been asked on 3 different occasions to provide the information for each of the apps-each time I've done so and have never been paid and essentially I've given up.

The other was with Humana, for a good friend's brother, his premium is $1.67 per month after the subsidy. I submitted the app on Thanksgiving and had given up on any comp for it.

Imagine my surprise to receive a commission statement from my IMO (Health Choice One, who is about 2 months behind on As Earned commission right now) today for this policy with not only the 8% agent commission but a 1% override for the entire premium and a 9 month advance.

Maybe next year I will actually write some business for Humana during OEP.

Have you been paid by FB? And what did their commission level end up being?

Well YA what used to be tier one is platinum, tier 2 gold, tier 3 silver and tier 4 bronze. I was paid exactly the same as before for applicant and was suppose to be for everyone on the policy, but that didn't happen and I'm told that is a mistake. It will take them months to straighten this out. I just hope it is before I have to start certifying for medicare and under next year, so I can decide if I want to continue doing this any longer.

No and I don't know, they never released a full commission schedule to me.

As I said, I have no expectation to get paid for the few policies I wrote for them-at the same time, I don't really care at this point in time.
