How DO we get paid? When we meet with new clients, we walk them through the ins and outs of Medicare, how to enroll, when to enroll, and picking the most coverage for the best price. We get towards the end of the appointment and often they lean in and say “don’t mind me asking, but how do you get paid” or they ask “how much do I owe you”? Sometimes they say to us, “you can’t do this for free!”
The Confusion of Medicare
The “Medicare and You” book gets mailed out each year to those on Medicare and those new to Medicare. It is a thick, extensive and full of overwhelming information. Clients tell us it just confuses them more. Needless to say, we know that is one of our jobs; to help take the confusion away. Another confusing aspect of Medicare is how people should sign-up. We give clients the 3 ways to sign- up; via online, calling social security or going to the local social security offices and what they will need for those appointments. But is it all for free?
How do we get paid? We get paid a little bit each month by the insurance company we contract with, for each client. At times we will even recommend a new plan if it fits your needs better. Then the new insurance pays us. It is our job to take care of you and do what is best for you. We do not put clients on plans that pay us the most commission. It is in our best interest to do what is best for you, because then you remain clients and refer your friends and family as well. We know this gives you peace of mind! and us available to call insurance companies with you if you have issues.
Lastly, sometimes we hear this from our clients when they call in “I don’t want to bother you but…”. Here at Senior Solutions Group you are never bothering us, it is our job to help you and educate with your Medicare.
