Like another poster said, we can’t talk about anything that is not a health product on these appointments so the form is almost useless. It only serves to make us look less professional and to take care of the H… agents who enrolled people in $0 premium MAPD plans when they only wanted to get a Part D plan, and OOPS! they forgot to explain anything such as benefits, co-pays and OOPMs (that whole Summary of Benefits thing) that we’re required to review fully.

It would seem odd to mail them the Company X form but talk about company Z.

I’m NOT advocating that an agent should send them a letter for each company. I just think it is silly to have to submit to CMS if the company is using the CMS model letter.

I noticed there is no “Time” line, for when the form was actually signed.

Is that now no longer a requirement?

Now where are those darn comp schedules I should also have by today? Oh yeah, that’s right I got one from the company that caused the above form to be designed… Gotta go fight the good fight now and take care of my customers. HAPPY TRAILS!!!
