Until recently, the only way for an agent to enroll a non-local client in a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan was by using regular mail. The paper application was sent, the client completed and signed it, and the completed application with the enclosed check was mailed back to the agent. The agent then sent or faxed the application to the vendor. Not anymore. The power of the Internet and electronic applications (E-Apps) offered by many vendors raised the Medigap enrollment process to a new level. Read below about all the advantages using Medicare Supplement E-Apps.
Advantages of Medicare Supplement E-Apps
The significant advantages of using Medicare Supplement E-Apps include:
- There is no need for paper and mailing. All critical processing, such as the client’s signature and need for a check, is done electronically.
- Incomplete applications and errors are reduced dramatically.
- Electronic applications are much easier to revise than paper applications.
Ultimately, the enrollment process is much faster and offers a superior opportunity for non-local clients.
Make Clients a Part of the Process
Because the role of an agent is to help select the best plan for their clients, clients should have an active part in the Medicare Supplement E-App process. Today, using the power of “shared screen” technology, it is very easy to do. The agent and client share the common screen and both can enter new and modify existing data. This way, a high degree of collaboration is achieved.
