Thanks for the comments!!

I was very anxious to get this Benefit Comparison tool out there for agent to begin using sinc we are getting so close to the beginning of Open Enrollment.

Before we re-format the comparison for 3 plans, please take a look at the version we are running for 2009 and let me know if that displays correctly for 3 of the 2009 plan offerings. If that looks right to you, we’ll get working on fixing the display for 2010.

In addition, we have a large number of additions for the Medicare Supplement comparison, so look for new carriers to start showing up within the next week!

I’ll have to give some thought to the Excel display. My first priority was to allow an agent to convert the document to an Adobe Acrobat file (PDF), but I like your Excel idea as well.

Thanks again for the comment!

Overall the best quote tool out there for the agents!!!

Would be great if could be in excel form. This way the agent could have a quick reference tool print out for all the plans in a specific zip code market. Of couse this would only be for agent use.

Also, it very important for the agent and the client to remember that the medication coverage under a MAPD is by far the most critical area for analysis!

The agent MUST make sure they run the meds! Just because the providers a person uses are in the “network” does not always equate that the plan will be good overall. They could end up with a costly mistake with higher drug cost. Problem with this is that when discovered, it is too late to change. “Lock-In”

Let’s have a great AEP!!!!
