Medicare supplement and Dental Insurance – Better Together
You have a built-in target market. If you are selling Medicare supplement, there are a number of reasons you should be offering your Medicare clients a dental policy.

First, good dental care is important to overall health. But do you know Medicare doesn’t cover dental services? That means dental bills have the potential to take a bite out of people’s savings.

Second, there is a need among individuals age 65 and older for dental insurance.

• 87% of this group still have their natural teeth
• Due to cost, 1 in 5 of them has untreated tooth decay and fewer than half see a dentist even once a year
• Only 12% have dental insurance

Third, it is an easy sale. If you are taking a Med supp e-App the dental plans are quoted up front and with a few simple questions at the end of the app you can complete a dental sale. Also, all Med supp paper apps have the dental application included in the application book.  And with our mobile quote app you can provide your clients a quote on the spot.

What is MACRA?

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) changes some of the Medicare supplement plans people new to Medicare can purchase. The rule says that as of January 1, 2020, newly-eligible Medicare beneficiaries won’t be able to purchase Medicare supplement plans that cover the Part B deductible. These are Medicare supplement Plans C, F, High-Deductible F and Minnesota and Wisconsin Part B deductible coverage. For MACRA purposes, “newly-eligible” people are those who become eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.

Mutual of Omaha is releasing a new Medicare Supplement in Georgia. Request details today and be ready when the product roles out for new sales.

Call us at 800-998-7715 and one of our marketing representatives would be happy to share this valuable information with you.

There are Medicare changes coming effective January 1, 2020 as a result of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). The Act eliminates Medigap plans that cover the Medicare Part B deductible (Plans C, F and High-Deductible F) for people who are Medicare eligible on or after January 1, 2020.  That means those Medicare beneficiaries will not have a Medigap option with first-dollar coverage and will pay the Medicare Part B calendar-year deductible themselves.

How this impacts our new Mutual of Omaha Georgia Product:

• Effective April 12^th, you can now sell Plans A, F, G and N
• Effective July 1^st, you may begin selling the new High Deductible Plan G for applications with an effective date of January 1, 2020 or later
• Until December 31, 2019 our High Deductible Plan F, underwritten by Omaha Insurance Company, will still be available in Georgia for individuals who are Medicare eligible prior to January 1, 2020. Only paper applications will be available for submission and can be downloaded on Sales Professional Access, Forms and Materials.
