What Medicare Carriers should I get contracts with to offer their products?
What Medicare Carriers should I get contracts with to offer their products?
We determine the carriers you will need to contract with based on your market area. Using your zip code, we visit a Medicare page, and "shop" for all the available plans available in your area. With our research results we proceed requesting contracts on your behalf.
We use a contracting platform referred to as SuranceBay or SureLC. This tool allows us to request contracts with life, health and Medicare carriers without having to fill out contracting applications over and over. We initiate the request for a contract, which then is sent to you for review. You must confirm each request. Doing so is very easy, you will receive an email each time asking you to confirm, you will proceed by logging in using some personal information, and review the contract by scrolling down the pages, and the only thing you have to do is apply your electronic signature, indicating you wish to contract with them.
