I Heard a BAD Rumor About Humana

[Davis]

Your unique identifier should give you credit for the sale. However, I am not sure how to verify that since if you don't know they have visited your site and gone ahead and applied without calling you how would you even know to check?

We had that happen once (only once as far as I know, with C1, not H1). The only reason we knew they applied was because they called us for status. Never got an explanation as to why were weren't credited. Just an "oops" sorry.

On the Medicare side, we have a sneaking suspicion H calls our clients at open enrollment and tries to switch them to something else, then take client from us. It has happened at least three times that I know of. The reason we knew was because the client got suspicious and called us to see wtf the company was trying to pull. It pays to keep in touch with your book. Especially the seniors. If you can get htem to trust you, all is good, because most of them sure don't trust the insurance company (and the govt).

Thanks for the info - you just saved me some pain.

My friend at Humana told me that she heard that Humana would not be using brokers anymore for their Gold Plus product due to the "problems" that they've experienced. She only said "Gold Plus", not PPO or PDP.
Anyone else heard this rumor?

But it raises the question, if a Company no longer lets outside agents sell their plan (and probably not re-certify), what happens to the renewal commissions that are owed to the outside agent assuming that the members remain with Humana?

My upline told me that it was not true, perhaps for newbies but not existing agents.

Then explain why Humana just started using FMOs for Medicare.

I quickly learned in the insurance biz that when you have it good, someone, somewhere is planning a way to take it away from you or make it more difficult................

Quoted for TRUTH.

The good things NEVER last in the insurance business.

I tell this to agents all the time.

Did your friend say when this was going to possibly happen?

No. No details. Ill try to fish some more info out. the upline has several marketing campaigns going on right now, not exactly the signs of fading out.

Humana is cold, calculating and not out to help the agent.

I like this post!

Humana is the debil!! At least to the independent agent they are.

They have been working against the independent agent for as long as I can remember. They were the impetus behind MIPPA to make it more difficult for agents.

They want to bypass the agent as advisor as quickly as possible. They want to sell their products direct through internet sales and from call ins from their ever present TV advertisements.

They do not want an unbiased agent out there giving people the real choices.

Agents that got in bed with the debil deserve whatever the debil dishes out to them.

I had AEP strategy meetings with Humana two weeks ago. There were no discussions around limiting plan offerings for delegated agents. We reviewed all plans for all markets.

Isn't there a song from the 80s on how rumors get started?

Just because you are pimping them doesn't make it a rumor. It's a fact, humana is the debil!

No independent agent should lay down with the debil.
