Q&A with Chris Bell
Why do some clients ignore your advice and end up in bad Medicare plans-what makes them resistant?
Answer: Some clients only want the absolute cheapest thing. Even when showing a different plan might be a few dollars more. No one cares about customer service until they have an issue. Most people think they are immune to the max out of pocket on plans until a surgery is needed.
We can advise but when people say we are only out for money or they have friends that have a different plan that say it better without actually comparing.
An agent asked me to sign a scope of appointment for before we could discuss my Medicare insurance or part D plan. What is an SOA? Is this normal? Are call centers exempt from this practice?
Answer: Yes this is a normal part of helping seniors. In fact this shows that the agent is doing their job the correct way.
The soa is just a form that says they are not medicare, are a licensed agent, and that you do not have to sign up for a plan it just gives the agent the ability to present plan options that you agree to in advance of the meeting.
A call center is not exempt but they typically read a verbal one that is recorded. Since you can into them they are exempt from the 48 hours wait a local field agent would need.
I hope this helps answer your question.
