There are certain questions you should be asking yourself every day, including:

• How can I compliantly reach Medicare beneficiaries during the lock-in period?
• What is my competition doing?
• How can I become more successful?

The answer is that a successful agent is always coming up with new ways to leverage their lead opportunities and generate new business. You may think that you are limited on how you can reach Medicare clients because of the compliance restrictions, but there are many ways to compliantly build your book of business and ultimately earn that steady flow of referrals throughout the year.

Independent agents and organizations prep for months leading up to the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). It's a chaotic few short weeks of consumers shopping their rates, carriers advertising their plans for the new year, and agents scrambling to grow their book of business, while most are asking themselves how to make best use of their time. We're here to help you prioritize this AEP.

What is Community HealthChoices?

Community HealthChoices (CHC) is a new Medicaid managed care program for certain people currently on Medicaid. Department of Human Services and the office of Long Term Living will pay CHC plans and monitor them. The goal is to deliver and pay for Medicaid physical health and long-term service and supports (LTSS) coverage where eligible. CHC plans will be responsible for developing provider networks, approving services and paying providers.
