Hello,
I live in Minnesota and I know all the BCBS companies are independent so my comment is directed to BCBSMN. Would like to know if it’s across the states.
I have had so many commission errors with this company. Members change their address and a full flat cancel occurs on my commission report. Or if the company rewrites the member for any reason at all. BCBS had a plan number change with their MA only plans (veteran’s) we had to rewrite all of them to the new plan number. BCBS insisted we would remain AOR if the member happened to call in and ask for online help or rewrite them. My gut was telling me this is going to be a problem. I was right…. These people are no longer under my name. Any change at all and I fall off. It’s a big issue every single year. So many thousands of lost commission. Does everyone have this issue? If so, we need to get together and notify the commissioner as a group. We shouldn’t have to fight for what we are worth every year with these insurance companies CMS will take away overrides so it’s a fair game for all companies. It’s never fair if a company can’t pay out commissions correctly. The truth is, this is years in the making and they don’t care enough to change. No support for us independent agent.
