That is because there are no select plans available in Georgia.

Select plans are only available in the following states: Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Utah.

If you would like to see the rates in all states and the contracts I offer send me an e-mail.

If you call Gerber Life and ask any question about their Med Supp plan with regard to rates, areas, etc., they'll route your call directly to AmeriLife in Clearwater. They contract everyone through their organization... FMO's included.
As I stated, there are only 4 FMO's that are direct with Gerber. Obviously you are not one of them. Although Amerilife had involvement with developing the products they are not the one and exclusive FMO.

Once again... NO they do not! I would suggest that you give Lucas a call over at Precision instead of drinking the Amerilife Cool Aid. I'm sure he would be surprised to learn that you know more about the company he owns than he does.

I may be wrong, if so it will be the first time this year LOL, but I don't think AmeriLife is what would be considered an "FMO" like the others are you are referring to. You may want to do a little more research into that.

I'm not positive about their structure, but my understanding is that they are broken up into several divisions. One of the divisions under The Amerilife Group, is an FMO operating under the name Amerilife Marketing Group.

The person who can clear that up for you is my "go to guy". If you would like his number send me an e-mail. He will give you the "final word" on the subject.

I'm not hostile at all. You're trying to tell me the exact opposite of what I was told by Lucas. I'm simply telling you that I accept his explanation, over that of an annonymous source on the internet. We spoke about this in great detail a few days ago.

I don't think Lucas mislead you. I just think there was a breakdown in communication. Lucas may have said one thing and you thought you heard him saying something else. I know both Lucas and Josh, neither one would intentionally tell you something that wasn't true.

I don't know how they do things out there in California, but you're in for a butt whoopin here in Alabama if you meet somebody for a fight behind the gym, and the minute they get out there to meet you, they take their shirt off.

So, is this a shirt off or a shirt on fight?

Correct... that is the way I understand it. They broker Amerilife products and are a marketing partner, as they are with many others, but are not owned by Amerilife and their contracts are direct with Gerber.

The way that it was explained to me is that Amerilife was involved in developing the product and are acting as an FMO, along with Precision and three others. Any FMO that is not part of this group must go through one of them.

Does this mean we're not meeting behind the gym?

This should clear it up: Marketing Companies

When I was on the carrier side I sat in the AmeriLife offices in Clearwater and listened as Chris York and Tim North explained what they called the spider diagram which outlined all the various arms of the organization. You can see them all by clicking the tabs at the top of the page.

You are so wrong. How can they offer the same contract levels then? I know for a fact my contract is not going into Amerilife's database. But straight to Gerber through my FMO.

Does anyone have a client application for Gerber supplement? Want to see the medical questions, are they the typical questions?
Thanks

I talked to Frank and Gerber and was told that apps and supplies should be available on 10/07 and they will start accepting applications on 10/16. Kepp in mind that date is NOT set in stone but thats what they are shooting for.

Re: Gerber Life Medicare Supplement             Go to Top

Somebody please tell me what the great new is about Gerber. Are their rates 1/2 of everyone elses? I don't understand all of the excitement if you already have great companies in your arsenal.

I will probably get appointed with them when they come to Virginia, but they can't be but so much better than UCT, WOW, MOO, etc. What's the big deal?
