Part B Rebate & a Hospital Indemnity Plan
"If you write someone a Part B Rebate plan, and that’s all you do for them , then most cases you have not done what is best for the consumer". - RONNIE JAMES
Veterans and Medicare Benefits
Do you have clients that have TRICARE for Life and who are also interested in a Medicare Advantage Plan with or without a Part D Plan? Well those clients can enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan including a Part D even if they have TRICARE for Life.
As an Insurance Agent, I regularly get asked about veterans, veteran benefits and people who qualify for Tricare for Life and even ChampVA. The question always comes up "can I sign those beneficiaries up for Medicare Advantage plans?" The quick answer to that is yes, but like any other client that you have, I always suggest to do a complete and total needs assessment for those particular clients.
