Is that what his deal is? Pathetic...
His deal is that he thinks it better to post here 1,000 times instead of finding a local agent to harass.
I can't image having this anal of a client.

This is just education for me:
Is that because there are some of the drug plans that pay no commission at all, or because the best plan based on meds is one another agent has already written in the prior year, or because (something I don't know to ask about)?
Thanks.
Thank you. I did not think about the contracting issue and also would not have known about one of the variants you mentioned.
I am really having trouble with whether or not the commissions on PDP's are an issue-or the extent to which they are.
When I first started reading and posting on the forum, it seems like a relatively large proportion of the posts in the senior forum spoke about PDP as a PIA. Lots of time, little money, or no money. It seemed like there were some agents that did not do PDP at all because of a combination of risk and time in relation to reward. Given that my ship representative wanted me to make an appointment in august for plan evaluations whenever they started in the fall, I also had the sense that there are already a large base of folks who just go (in KS anyway) over to the extension office each fall.
A recent thread for an agent focused on just PDP (not PDP and MA). The contents of that thread, as well as the bitterness in tnagent's outburst, suggest the direct opposite.
I don't know how to correctly assess that situation.
I remember considering prior authorization issues, I'll have to take a look at what step therapy is.
I appreciate you risking your forum reputation in speaking to me.
New to medicare in 2016.
After my questions about what she thought about my 2016 situation, she wanted me to, in August, go ahead and schedule my appt time for drug plan review in Oct-Nov because of the heavy demand they had for that service. She wasn't telling me anything about 2017 plans in Aug 2016.
I wasn't sure about some penalty situations and did my PDP myself prior to getting an agent and MedSupp. I may be able to give my agent a 2018 PDP change-I'll have to see how the med situation looks. With overseas medication purchase as an option, I've basically been looking at what I do as a "drug plan place holder" to avoid CMS penalties. I need to work through some of that myself because it is not fair to dump all that on an agent now that I understand how the system works.
