Mr. Prentice should review the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Marketing Guidelines
specifically for Medicare Advantage (MA) and Prescription Drug (PDP) plans.
Response to Colleague's Misunderstanding:
If a colleague claims that they are not subject to the same requirements as the Medicare Advantage
plans, it is important to clarify that marketing on behalf of a plan is considered marketing by the plan.
Therefore, all contracted agents must adhere to Medicare marketing rules.
Marketing Materials for New Products:
Before using any marketing materials for Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, it is necessary to submit
these materials to the plan you represent for CMS review and approval to ensure they are accurate.
State Regulation Compliance:
Medicare health plans are required to comply with requests for information from state insurance
departments that are investigating complaints about marketing representatives.
Training and Representation:
If you have completed the necessary training for Medicare Advantage and Part D plans but did not
achieve a passing score, you will not be able to represent those plans until you complete the training
and obtain a passing score. However, if your focus is on marketing employer/union group plans, you
may not have to take the tests.
Agents working at a TMO should be aware that they are not exempt from taking Medicare training and
passing the related tests unless they are exclusively marketing employer/union group plans. Even then,
some plans may still require testing to ensure compliance.
Agent Licensing Requirements:
, Agent Armstrong is required to be licensed and appointed in each state where he markets ABC MA
plans.
Marketing Event RSVPs:
For marketing events aimed at new Medicare beneficiaries, you may request RSVPs but cannot require
that attendees provide contact information.
Preparing for Presentations:
When preparing for a presentation on Medicare Advantage before a local senior citizen group, ensure
your invitation clearly states that a salesperson will be present with information and applications.
In-Home Sales Presentations:
Before conducting an in-home sales presentation with a client, it is essential to obtain and document
their permission for the visit, as well as their interest in the specific products you will present.
Enrollment Materials for Potential Beneficiaries:
During an appointment with a beneficiary turning 65, you may provide the required enrollment
materials and accept their completed enrollment application, assuming you obtained a signed scope of
appointment form.
Discussing Additional Insurance Products:
While discussing Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, you can present only health care-related
products. Prior to doing so, be sure to obtain the beneficiary's permission and document it.
Scope of Appointment Requirement:
When a Medicare beneficiary requests a discussion about options under Medicare Advantage, you must
first have them sign a scope of appointment form indicating which products they wish to discuss.
Adding Topics to Scope of Appointment Forms:
If a client wants to discuss additional topics beyond what was initially stated on their scope of
appointment form, you may do so as long as they sign a new form specifying their interest in those
additional topics.
