There are Just 24 months Between S.S.D.I. and Medicare Automatic Qualification

There are 24 months Between S.S.D.I. & Medicare Automatic Qualification

What You Need to Know to Grow Your Book of Business.

The Social Security Administration estimated in December 2018 that 8.5 million Americans received Disability Income or S.S.D.I.. To get a sense of who is covered by S.S.D.I., check the Administration’s Definition of Disability and view its complete list of impairments for adults and children.

What does this mean for you the agent? S.S.D.I. and Medicare work together to support individuals with disabilities. Independent Medicare agents have a rewarding opportunity to serve these disadvantaged beneficiaries. Whether someone is physically disabled and needs assistance with mobility or those with intellectual disabilities or those suffering with mental illnesses, they all need assistance with finding the right health coverage for them. Many times, S.S.D.I. beneficiaries qualify for Medicaid due to lower earnings over their lifetime. This provides you with a unique opportunity to partner with others to assist these beneficiaries. Once they have Medicare, you have a client for life!


“Realizing the the implications that Medicare is not just for seniors 65 and older opens up your book of business to new streams of income.”


It’s fairly simple, once a person has been on S.S.D.I. for 24 months, he or she automatically qualifies for Medicare. You can read more about eligibility for S.S.D.I. here. Individuals with S.S.D.I. can receive Medicare benefits before 24 months if they are fully disabled & have no expectation to work because of their disability. This is not granted automatically; the beneficiary must apply for it. I have had some clients receive Medicare benefits within three months of applying once they began receiving S.S.D.I..


Independent Medicare Agents have a Rewarding Opportunity to serve these Disadvantaged Beneficiaries

Most states do not have Medicare Supplements available to individuals under age 65. If Medicare Supplement plans are available, they can be cost prohibitive because most companies are group or age rated. An individual on Medicare due to Disability is bound to have higher health costs, so they often go with a Medicare Advantage plan simply because that is their only choice. Many Medicare Advantage plans have different networks than your new S.S.D.I. clients may have used in the past, so make sure they are comfortable changing their doctors and specialists.


“It’s fairly simple: Once a person has been on S.S.D.I. for 24 months, he or she automatically qualifies for Medicare”


It’s often the case that many individuals with a disability & families with a disabled family member don’t know where to turn for help. Some have Medicaid, some have no insurance and some live off of their savings.  Tragically, we have bared witness to cases where disabled clients have been Bankrupt by medical bills and are now on Medicaid after burning through their entire life savings because they had no insurance. Most are in their Forties or Fifties and believed they had at least 10 to 20 years or more to work.

Knowledgeable and caring Medicare agents can really make a positive difference in the lives of Disabled prospects by helping these individuals understand S.S.D.I. & Medicare. Realizing the the implications that Medicare is not just for seniors 65 and older opens up your book of business to new streams of income.

MA-OEP is back!

Medicare cost-sharing

Charlie Ferrell, National Sales Manager

About the Author: Charlie started his senior insurance career after a brief 30-year stint in the restaurant industry. In the 12 years since then, he has been blazing trails and setting standards for excellence all over! A native of Utah, he has been a state manager for RBI as well as an MGA for UHC, Coventry, Molina and other carriers! Charlie came to RBI as the National Sales Manager in 2015, and has been dubbed the “Medicare Encyclopedia” our staff and agents alike. Charlie specializes in the Dual-Eligible market and is leading the charge behind many of RBI’s new training initiatives!

MA-OEP is Back!

Beginning this year the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have given Medicare Advantage (MA) beneficiaries an additional enrollment period called the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (MA-OEP.)

What this means for Beneficiaries

Each year, starting on January 1st, Medicare Advantage members will be able to make a one time plan change through March 31st of each year.

Agents that have been around for a while remember that the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) was critical for people who failed to change plans during the Annual Election Period or those who made the wrong choice and only realized it when they tried to use their plan in January. This new enrollment period helps protect beneficiaries who may only look at how their co-insurance and co-pays are changing, but may not realize that their doctor will no longer be accepting the Insurance/Plan they haveIt also gives us another three months of selling to increase our customer base.

It’s in your and your Client’s best interest

For new agents who have yet to experience an OEP, you might be scared that all your your new clients could leave and all of your commissions would be charged back and … you would be right! This puts more burden on you the agent to put them in the correct plan in the first place, which is a good thing if you ask me! Make sure you call your clients the first week in January and find out if their plan is working correctly for them. OEP gives you a chance to correct plans if you find out that your client’s doctors are no longer in network after the first of the year. It also allows YOU to market yourself and gain new clients from those agents that are not returning phone calls or following up on their clients needs.

How does OEP protect your business?

It never fails that I have someone call me after December 7th saying they want to sign up for the plan now and I have to tell them “It’s too late, you are locked into your current plan until the end of next year unless you move out of the county.” Even worse is the client that calls me in January looking for my help and another agent put them on a different plan just to make a commission. I have had it happen. An agent “stopped by” just to go over her Medicare even though she told them she had an agent and was already signed up. Next thing you know they are on a different plan and I can’t help them. OEP gives you the chance to keep that business and allows you inoculate your clients from agents that want to poach your business. It forces you to do your job… or someone else will do it for you!

21st Century Cures Act

The 21st Century Cures Act allows all Medicare beneficiaries one change during OEP. The law also prohibits carriers from advertising to consumers to utilize the OEP to change plans. It’s up to us to educate our clients and potential clients of the upcoming changes. If you have a penchant for reading ridiculously long and boring Congressional Statutes, then you can read about this new law in its entirety right here!

United Healthcare Non-producing Policy


United Healthcare Non-producing External Distribution Channel (EDC) Agents

United Healthcare recently announced that they’re implementing a new annual agent sales production requirement.  Beginning on June 25th, 2018 UHC will count sales with effective dates from July 1st through March 1st of each year. If an agent fails to meet minimum production requirements by the end of an annual evaluation period, the agent will be charged an administration fee and United Healthcare will move to terminate their contract for non-production.

Who is Affected?

An agent/agency is considered non-producing if, at any time during the evaluation period, they held an active contract and did not have at least one sale with an effective date of July 1st through March 1st.

This policy applies to EDC agents and agencies that are contracted at the Agent level, and that are deemed “Read to Sell” for remainder of the plan year and subsequent AEP and OEP. This policy does not apply to solicitors (Licensed Only Agents).

How does this policy affect GA, MGA, and FMO level agencies?

United Healthcare will charge an administrative fee to any non-producing EDC agent/agency that has an active contract during the evaluation period. After a period of 60 days, the agent/agency’s immediate up-line becomes liable for any unpaid fees for their immediate downlines.

What if I have an agent level corporation, does the policy and fee apply to both the principal and the corporation?

The fee will only be charged once. However, both may be terminated for non-production.

Administrative Fee

  • $150 fee for resident state
  • $100 fee for additional state
  • Maximum of $250 per agent per year

Collecting Renewals

Agents and agencies that no longer want to market and sell United Healthcare Medicare products should consider terminating their contract and moving into servicing status. This protects their current book of business so they can maintain relationships with members and retain their renewals.

Agents and agencies that terminate their contract during the evaluation period may still be subject to the fee if they did not meet the sales requirement during the evaluation period.

I’ve been assessed a fee, but I have a recent application pending

If an agent wishes to avoid contract termination they must have one sale of any United Healthcare Medicare Advantage, Prescription Drug Plan, or Medicare Supplement product within 30 days of the termination notice. The administration fee will still apply.

Terminated for non-production

If an agent was terminated for no United Healthcare sales, but would like to sell with United Healthcare again, they must wait 60 days from the termination date and will be subject to possible contracting fees. After a period of 60 days, the agent/agency’s immediate up-line becomes liable for any unpaid fees.

Our goal at RB Insurance Group is to support your business so that you can perform at the highest possible levels! At RBI, we pride ourselves on our ability to help agents succeed in the Medicare market. If you would like help selling and marketing not only United Healthcare plans this year, call our office at 1-800-997-3107!
