Enrollment season is always a hectic time of year. Life and health insurance agencies have a lot to handle during this time: carrier updates, new products, client communication, lead follow-ups... the list goes on.
Using automation, agencies can save 100 hours in email notifications and reminders to clients, prospects, and agents every enrollment season. These email templates will help you attract, convert, and retain.
While automation is a great asset for your day-to-day work, it can also come in handy during the busy times of the year like Open Enrollment (OEP) and Annual Election Period (AEP). Automation helps you get more done with less effort.
In this blog, we'll discuss three areas you can use automation during OEP and AEP to maximize productivity and efficiency (plus highlights from the software you can use to streamline it all).
The Scope of Appointment (SOA) is a federally required form for all new and renewal sales appointments with a Medicare insurance agent. This form, along with other CMS compliance regulatory changes, helps increase transparency for customers to promote more understanding about buying health insurance and Medicare coverage.
Streamline your appointment process and communication efforts with our comprehensive guide to electronic SOA management, tailored for the senior market insurance sector.
The key to running a successful insurance organization is to have effective tools your teams need to work efficiently. From prospecting to quoting to retention and back again, it's essential to have technology that works for your organization (and your employees!) from one end to the other.
In this guide, learn how successful health, benefits, and senior insurance agencies and uplines use AgencyBloc's Plus Suite of industry-specific solutions to streamline their processes, centralize efforts, and increase revenue.
The AEP season is always hectic — but the 2025 enrollment season is looking to be even busier than usual. Between carrier updates, new products, recently launched regulations, Scope of Appointment compliance requirements, client communication, lead follow-ups, etc., agents have a lot to do.
But by using automation, Medicare agencies can save 100+ hours on email notifications and reminders to clients, prospects, and agents every AEP. These email and text message templates will help your Medicare agency attract, sell, and retain more prospects and clients this AEP season.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Understanding Marketplace Compliance Rules & Regulations presentation laid out additional requirements for life and health insurance brokers to obtain consent to contact prior to providing assistance with Marketplace plans.
Utilize these consent to contact resources to efficiently obtain consent and ensure your agency maintains compliance.
A few months ago, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new ruling called the CMS Final Rule 2023. Part of this rule requires agents to record and store all Medicare and Medicaid "marketing" calls.

If there is one thing you can always count on in the health and life insurance industry, it's that changes will happen. The latest broker compensation disclosure requirement is no different.

August through December is a busy time for agents. Between your CEs, getting certified with different carriers and plan types, and preparing for enrollment season, you are swamped. However, there is one thing that could help make some of your preparations easier—technology.
We’ll discuss how to use an industry-specific agency management system (AMS) to streamline your enrollment season and ease your workload.
A signed Scope of Appointment (SOA) form creates a contract between each Medicare beneficiary and the Medicare insurance agent, dictating what types of plans they'll cover during their meeting.
The SOA form is one of the most important forms to obtain for Medicare insurance agents. It's required for every beneficiary, regardless of whether they're a prospect or a client, and is required each year. Additionally, all signed SOA forms must be stored and easily accessible for a minimum of 10 years.
Use these resources to obtain signed SOAs from prospects and clients.
