Coventry Can Kiss My #$%

[stiffy]

If there's one thing I hate, it's production requirements. And i feel like only th ****tty companies have them.

For example:

I wanted to add BC/BS of TX to my portfolio because they tend to have good rates on HSAs.

"We've got a production requirement of 10 policies in the first year."

BC/BS IL tells me the same thing. I took BCBS Texas up on the offer because while I put 80-90 precent of my business in TX with Humana,I felt like I'd probably manage to get 10 policies over the course of a yr.

I was noticing that in North Carolina Coventry was looking pretty damn good. So I call them, and I get forwarded to some "manager" who tells me "Well you out of state guys, I would need to see at least 25."

Fine, cocksuckers, I'll just send like 10k a year in business that I probably would have sent you to someone else.

What's a multi-state insurance guy supposed to do with crap like this?

You're not missing anything. Low rates, impossible underwriting and lousy service.

Won't be around for the party in 2014.

Could this be why their local support staff seems to have disappeared, (or so I have heard)?

I don't deal with Coventry. Haven't for years, but I did hear they let some folks go.

They are pretty messed up and have been since they opened their doors.

Oh you have no idea. Can't want to go into it but their management can also kiss my (donkey by another name). I said that since the title seems to have changed on this thread.

What do you expect? They funded their grand opening by raiding Blue Cross.

You can't turn pigs in to race horses.

Why not just write more business?

Coventry has had some of the lowest "street" rates in the state for the last 3+ years but also the toughest underwriting. Almost impossible to get a standard offer. Billing is almost as bad as Aetna. Even before Obamacuts in compensation they didn't pay agents enough to put up with the headaches they created.
