Stonebridge/Transamerica Plan F Rate Increase in MO

[plannerman]

Since they are taking 15% for 1/1/16 we are searching for a GI contract that will pay full commission. Does Manhattan life pay full commission on anniversary GI business in MO? What is a street level contract (mind you I will be looking for more than street). Do you have any other ideas specific to the plan F for GI?

Thanks everyone!

I thought anniversary rule was open enrollment and paid full commission. I don't sell in MO but am I wrong? (Went all of 2015 being correct and hate to break that streak).

We often get paid a flat $25 in MO for the annual anniversary GI option. The MO Dept of Insurance refers to it as your "Guaranteed Issue Rights."

So I guess I hate to be the guy to break it to you this late in the year, but you are wrong

What zips do you sell in MO? Anthem is competitive and will GI to Plan N on anniversary. They pay full commission also but you have to get to 25 cases before they do.

Manhattan pays full comp on anniversary. However their Plan F commissions are somewhat low, they pay much better on Plan G.

Combined is pretty competitve is well and pays alright, Mutual pays best but is really only competitive with the household discount.

Here are some companies to consider:

Manhattan Life
UHC
Mutual of Omaha (replacement commission but better than $25)
American Continental

If you mean CA that was the case. You can thank me for Oxford reversing that and paying full comp.

They saw the light and agree it's open enrollment, not GI.
