It actually does... For a 62 year old bridging the gap to Medicare, they would much rather know exactly what they are going to be paying the next 3 years versus hoping the increases don't price them off the policy...

Yes....with assurant.....they are the only ones that you have to double down on your bet BECAUSE they are the king of pricing people off... I have Unicare clients that have been on the book from 94 to today.....can not say that about assurant....

Been a while since I've looked at Unicare. Which plans are you using the most? All these companies have so many plans now it's confusing even for an agent to keep them all straight.

Re: Up to 27% Major Medical Contracts-Texas Agents             Go to Top

Unicare is eliminating all of their top selling plans this summer $500, $2000, and $3000 will no longer available for sale.

Today the online application has been restored after 6 straight days of Wellpoint enterprise wide system outage.

I can not tell you what the future will bring. I hope they can turn around what has become a very disappointing operation at all levels, and I certainly will not tolerate any more commission cuts.

All that being the case Assurant has nothing for the Texas market, ZERO. Price , benefits, you name it - and show me someone who has been on Assurant for 10 years - tell me how satisfied they are with their rate.

I have had Unicare HSA for 5 years and my rate for 3 people (Myself, and two kids) is under $600/quarter. Granted I am not an old man like Sti - but still you can't touch that rate.

LOL...

Re: Up to 27% Major Medical Contracts-Texas Agents             Go to Top

It'll be interesting to see what comes down the pike. In my short tenure:

1) Assurant has doubled the rates from when I started
2) Aetna has doubled the rates just from 2005
3) GR started imposing RX caps on their plans - heading in the wrong direction

Assurant is shilling Right Start like pancakes at Sunday breakfast. GR call centers can't sell enough of their limited products without adding on the important upgrades. Aetna has no plan flexibility.

Something's gonna give.

I guess you're lucky you and your wife could go back through underwriting.
