Agents who offer Medicare solutions need tools that help them maximize their time, allowing them to assist as many clients as possible. This is especially true during AEP, when every second is worth its weight in gold. A Medicare self-enrollment tool can help drive efficiency.
One specific pain point many agents encounter is helping clients enroll in Part D (PDP) solutions. Medicare Insurance Direct® (MID) takes the pain out of PDP sales by allowing clients to use your solid advice to self-enroll, and paying you when they do. With this tool, the client does the bulk of the legwork, thus saving you time. This frees you up to help other clients with other Medicare solutions that could potentially be a more profitable use of your time.
Alert: New Features in MID Make It Even More Powerful
Improvements to MID have taken effect just in time for AEP. All new features are designed to save you even more time so that you can meet with more clients and make even more money.
New features include:
Beneficiary Preferences Banner
Beneficiary preferences banner can be accessed from the top of the plan list page and open in individual modals. Consumers and agents may add or edit this information more easily and ultimately enjoy a quicker and smoother experience.
Add Current Plan
Add current plan feature allows consumers and agents to compare benefits between current and potential plans. Access the Current plan modal to add or update your current plan. Your selected plan will then display at the top of the plans list to be able to compare or quote.
Personalize Benefits
Personalize benefits feature helps tailor plan recommendation by adding individual medical benefits to a beneficiary's profile. Easily differentiate and compare plan benefits to find the plan that's suited for a member's needs.
Preferences Page
The preferences page will now allow users to easily answer their preferences before continuing to plans. Instead of going from tab to tab, users may enter their information in modals which they can now access from any page.
Plan Card Enhancements
Plan card enhancements updates such as a quick link, details button and other icons were added for a better user experience.
Plan List Filters
Plan list filters can now be moved into a single button available at the top of the plans list to help prevent users from being overwhelmed by the amount of information. Consumers may access the filters button at the top of the plans list and easily see what filters they have added as tags.
C-SNP Enhancements
Common conditions associated with drugs will display with prescriptions in a tool tip, and if it appears to be Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP) condition related, a banner will appear on the plan list page indicating the client may qualify for a C-SNP plan.
