Long Beach, CA, December 22, 2008/For Immediate Release/ Craig Ritter, President of Ritter Insurance Marketing and Molina Medicare recently signed a Marketing agreement which enables Ritter Insurance Marketing to contract and train independent brokers to enroll Medicare Beneficiaries in Molina Medicare Advantage products.
Craig Ritter, President of Ritter Insurance Marketing said, “We are very pleased to have added Molina Medicare’s products to better enable the insurance agents who currently work with Ritter Insurance Marketing to offer plans for their clients which are best suited to meet their needs. Molina’s Medicare Advantage portfolio, along with the recognition by US News and World report as one of “America’s Best Health Plans” are clear indications that Molina Medicare offers tremendous value to its members, as well as the agents who represent Molina.”
Craig states, “Molina Medicare has plans in 8 states and we intend to contract with independent insurance agents who would like to add Molina Medicare to their product portfolio in 7 of these 8 states. The states where we have contracted with Molina Medicare are California, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Washington (state). Molina Medicare also has operations in New Mexico, but we will not be soliciting agents in that state.”
Craig concludes, “Molina’s plan offerings include networked Medicare HMO and Special Needs products in very targeted areas in the states where they operate. We believe the targeted networked approach makes the most sense in delivering long term value to the Medicare Beneficiary and to the agent, as well.”
“Molina Medicare is excited to partner with Ritter Insurance Marketing”, said Richard Slaughter, Vice President for Molina Medicare. “Ritter has a proven track record of success in the Medicare Advantage market, similar to Molina Medicare. We look forward to working with Ritter Insurance Marketing and building a stronger broker channel.”
