True up question

You bring up interesting pts on overrides . Are all the override commission negotiable with carriers like new to the carrier or new to Medicare ? I know standard overrides on new to carrier for fmo's are about $250 . Do all carriers pay less with carrier to carrier overrides ? I know united pays less overrides on csnp's . Do most carriers pay higher overrides on new to Medicare than new to the carrier or? Are fmo's making $200 an app. Marketing money with the bigger carriers? I know some carriers like WellCare used to pay bigger fmo overrides
FMOs can make $250 for a true up, if they put you on a low enough level. However, for the most part, that's a big negative!

To me, the wildest thing is that the large call centers earn that full override plus all sorts of soft money. The largest ones make more money on these things than on commissions. It can be almost $1,000 just in first year admin sh!t. And because of the amount of business they write, they get a pass on miserable compliance and horrendous churn.

The deck is stacked against smaller outfits.
 
new to MA is new to MA.
most carriers do not pro-rate the full commission.

The first half is, but the True Up adds up to FMV. You can even download the commission schedules on any agent website. Humana's is right there on the main page (if you are actually contracted with any of these companies. I'm starting to think you are a total fraud.). Page 9 and 10 of the PPP shows how much you make depending on the month the policy is sold in.

And guess what, it adds up to the CMS allowable FMV. $626

He is referring ONLY to prospects with an existing PDP.
Those are only paid double FMV, NOT True-Up.
