After seeing "first looks", attending kick-offs, but before actually seeing the final landscape... 1 - Which product you expect to sell the most (MA, MS, etc.)? 2 - Which Carrier do you expect to sell the most of? 3 - What do you see as the biggest pain point this AEP? 4 - What are you excited about? Would be grateful to get your thoughts in the comments below! 🤝 If I get enough responses, I compile results and create a post in the coming weeks with the info. __ Give me a follow, I post Medicare Market Insights daily.

Did you know Warren Buffett is raking in millions from insurance? Berkshire Hathaway's Q1 profit surged 39% to $11.22 billion, driven by insurance underwriting. Geico's earnings alone swelled 174% to $1.928 billion. Insurance companies are often in a conflict of interest with their consumers as they need to retain funds for profit, unlike consumers who need to be paid claims. It's important we consider how we can make insurance more ethical and beneficial for both companies and consumers alike. #Insurance #InsureTech #Web3 #Community #MutualFundsProtection

Ironman sharpens Ironman ?!?! I had the opportunity to visit ClaimDOC headquarters in Des Moines 🌽 last week A deep dive to their approach to reference-based pricing (RBP) Some of you read RBP and just thought 💭 I hate RBP 💭 RBP doesn’t work in my market 💭 it disruptive and creates noise Here’s the funny part… I bet 75% of you have never actually implemented an RBP account. Having done 100s of implementations of RBP, I can tell you ONE account is ONE account. There’s a lot of nuance and strategy that goes into a successful implementation and execution and your partners (TPA, RBP partner, advocacy, even PBM) play a huge part in this. I have 1 account with ClaimDOC and it’s going extremely well. After visiting their HQ, here are the points I found differentiating: 🗺️ PAVE THE WAY- employees nominate their providers and the ClaimDOC team will reach out BEFORE a claim is field to walk the provider 👩🏽‍⚕️ 🏥 through the program. Their program has a 96% participation rate 🔍 BILL REVIEW- ClaimDOC reviews EVERY bill…. The savings, transparency, and compliance with fiduciary responsibility is HUGE 🧑🏽‍🏫 MEMBER ADVOCATES - these propel are the ♥️ of the relationship and help members through EVERYTHING 🧠 PHILOSOPHY- fair, data driven, and partnership vs “Scorthed earth”… meeting with Brad Hansen was great to learn more about their approach. ♥️ CULTURE Ben Krambeck has built an amazing atmosphere- great office environment, training, fitness, games, competition— I wanted to go work there. I ❤️ RBP and you should too. Thanks to Mark E. Nickerson and Omar Arif for the invite and putting the event together. Thanks to Amy Pellegrin for talking #CAA and RBP with me. Excited for the future!! PS- I’m not paid to say anything. PSS- if you don’t know about RBP, GO LEARN!!

Laws restricting cell phone usage to prevent distracted driving are becoming more commonplace. But what about legislation designed to minimize the impact of another common distraction in your car—your dog? Erie Insurance Group recently commissioned a survey conducted by The Harris Poll to see whether or not there should be laws mandating dogs be restrained in a moving vehicle.

How did I get my start in the Insurance industry? I didn't major in Risk Management or a related field. Like many, "I fell into it" and never left. Starting in Personal lines and transitioning to Commercial Lines has been a cherished journey. My aim is to progress as far as possible, mastering every aspect of Underwriting Commercial Insurance policies at the highest level. What about you? How did you begin your journey in the Insurance industry, and what do you find most rewarding about it? This article raises an important point, suggesting that as Insurance professionals, we should reconsider the phrase "fell into" in relation to our industry. What are your thoughts on this perspective? #insurance #insurancecareer #underwriting
