How do Medicare agents and brokers get paid?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

they are paid by the insurance company that they do business with. It is becoming a problem however that many insurance companies have plans that do not pay commission. And makes it hard to service the Medicare beneficiaries without getting paid at all.

Carriers pay the FMO and then agents are paid by FMO unless you are not affiliated with an agency or FMO.

Medicare agents and brokers get paid by insurance carriers. The commission is generally the same regardless of which plan you choose, so a good agent should focus on helping you find the plan that best fits your needs.

Agents and brokers get paid directly by the carrier not by the client. This is why our services are at no cost to the beneficiary. The best part for the consumer is that agents and brokers get paid more to sell one insurance companies plan as opposed to another (for the most part), it keeps a regulated unbiased perspective
