AEP Poster Suggestions?

As long as it is generic in nature and didn't reference any plan names or benefits, I don't think it has to be cms approved.

I'm not sure about the cms disclaimer but I don't recall anything requiring it.

I also wouldn't be scared of offering Ma or PDP off of a sign as long as you get a scope of appt.

How about.. Get solid advice from an Independent Agent that will review your Medicare options.

General audience marketing includes direct mail, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, yellow pages, and the Internet
Rules regarding unsolicited contacts do not apply to the marketing of these materials
All of these materials are subject to CMS approval and content requirements:
Exception: Agents/Brokers may generate and use materials that are "generic in nature," without prior submission, but such materials must not discuss content specific to plan benefits; discuss plan cost-sharing; or include the plan name.

Marketing representatives must:
Provide to prospective enrollees only CMS-approved plan marketing materials or CMS marketing materials.

Exception: Agents/Brokers may generate and use materials that are "generic in nature," without prior submission (for example business cards indicating types of products he/she is selling). Such materials must not discuss content specific to plan benefits; discuss plan cost-sharing; or include the plan name.
Marketing representatives must NOT:
Assert that their plan is the "best" plan.
Make explicit comparisons between their plan benefits and those of other named plans, unless they have written concurrence from all plan sponsors being compared.
Reference a non-CMS award or survey unless the sponsor or representative notified CMS in advance, note that the award was not given by CMS, refer beneficiaries to the CMS star rating information and give equal prominence to the Medicare star rating.
Marketing representatives may refer to the results of studies or statistical data in relation to customer satisfaction, quality, or cost as long as specific study details and information on the relationship with the entity that conducted the study are given and they make it clear that the study or data are note endorsed by CMS.
Marketing representatives cannot say:
The government wants you to join our plan because it helps them.
I am certified by Medicare to sell this plan.
If your doctor accepts Medicare, she accepts this plan.
There are no limits on services.
We cover all drugs and have no formulary restrictions.
If you don’t like this plan, you can stop paying your premium and return to original Medicare anytime.
It is better to choose a different company if you are sick.
You can go to any doctor or provider that you want.
(Name of plan) is the best Medicare plan you can buy.
Medicare Advantage plans are the same as Medigap plans.
You should opt out of MMP enrollment because everyone knows you will get a higher quality care through a Medicare Advantage plan.

So I will tweak it to have my website on there, probably safer to put up a notice that I am not with CMS Medicare etc. Any head shakers out there recommend a bottom line call of action?

I would go further up the line to the carrier's compliance dept to get the answer.

 

[MedicareAgent]

I got permission from UHC to put
Advantage plan
enrollment center

file every day as an informal/sales event and your fine.

I see a whole lot wrong with this. First off, anything related to marketing has to be put through compliance. Do NOT just hang a poster and start marketing off of it, you will get a compliance pinch. Second, you can NOT market yourself as a "Medicare Specialist". That also is a compliance pinch.
You should be talking to your FMO or ICA manager about this stuff.
