Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) has enhanced their
Value of Blue Guarantee
Give your clients the peace of mind knowing they can get the coverage they need… when they need it. With the Value of Blue Guarantee, your clients can opt for a one-time change from their Medicare Advantage plan to an open Plan 65 Supplement plan in a future election period with no lapse in coverage.
For you, the broker, this Guarantee provides an opportunity to gain some new clients or even look at your existing book and provide them with significant savings. PLUS, Transitioning your Medicare Supplement clients to Medicare Advantage also presents an opportunity for increased commission on these clients.
Think of some of your Medicare Supplement clients paying for Supp, PDP and Dental premiums. Imagine them transitioning to one of BCBSRIs Medicare Advantage plans, giving them immediate savings in premium while providing access to embedded Rx, dental, OTC, gym, wellness reimbursements and more! Then, down the road if they need a Medicare Supplement, they can enroll in BCBSRIs Plan 65 at the base rate, no medical underwriting questions asked!
There are two unique ways to leverage The Value of Blue Guarantee (See below or download their new informational flyer that can be shared with members and prospects).
