Medicare Compliance
Comments

When it comes to selling Medicare products especially Medicare Advantage CMS regulates it heavily. Pinnacle Financial Services has a great Medicare Compliance Department and trainers to make sure you know the Do’s and Don’ts. 

Medicare Scope of Appointment

Scope of appointments is formed outlining the exact products you will be presenting to a client. These are required for all Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug plan sales. They need to be signed before an agent can even talk about carriers or plan details. 

Medicare Certifications

Medicare Certifications are required to be able to offer Medicare advantage products. AHIP is the first step. This is a general Medicare Advantage test that goes over compliance and CMS rules. Once AHIP is complete then you need to complete carrier-specific certifications. These go over the carrier rules and products. These need to be completed every year before AEP.

GTL’s Hospital Indemnity Plans
Comments

GTL’s Hospital Indemnity Plans help fill some of the gaps of the co-payments, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses of your health insurance plan. Many of the Medicare Advantage plans only start to cover the cost after days 6, 7, or 10 in the hospital.  These plans help with the cost of the hospital stay.

How does a GTL Hospital Indemnity Plan work?

Hospital Indemnity plans pay you between $100 and $750 per day should you be confined into a hospital.  These plans restore after 60 days on no hospital confinement.  These plans pay directly to the client to be used for anything needed when in the hospital. 

How do I quote Hospital Indemnity plans?

Quoting Hospital Indemnity plans is easy with Pinnacle Financial Services.  We offer free mobile and desktop quoting for all agents.  It’s a great way to cross-sell with Medicare advantage products to make extra money, especially during AEP.  These policies pay out weekly to agents.

Reach out to a Pinnacle Financial Services team member today to get contracted and more information on GTL Hospital Indemnity plan.   We can be reached at 1-800-772-6881 x7731 or email healthsales@pfsinsurance.com
