Having a store front

[m90180]

There is nothing misleading about my signage, it states "more than just Medicare"
and it's only a "dba"

It's "only a DBA" isn't really a good defense. Secondly, you don't get to decide what's misleading or not... CMS does... as it's their criteria.

As I noted, they're not kicking people's doors in for using the Medicare moniker. However, CMS is very clear about what constitutes a breach of policy and what does not.

I don't care what you call your business. I don't care if you're compliant or not. I'm stating the argument that AdjusterJack is making based on CMS policy.

Gess You ever turn your TV on and see the commercials?

I don't remember the exact verbiage CMS uses in ahip But I believe its more along the lines of saying Medicare endorses or maybe include stuff that indicates one works for Medicare

Medicare plans aren't misleading. They're actually Medicare plans.

CMS says it is against using the moniker can be misleading (when the average consumer believes it to be so.) Medicare Store (if that was the only name of the business) could be misleading to a consumer as it implies that the store is attached to Medicare.

It was clarified that there was more to the name, which could eliminate the misleading portion. The point is to make it incredibly clear that you are not attached to Medicare, or thought to be endorsed by.. even through implication.

As for everything else.. It's literally why I said CMS isn't kicking down doors to resolve it. I use Medicare in my website tagline and a business card that looks similar to a Medicare card with clients. It's rarely enforced until someone actually complains (if even then.)

I don't think anyone is purposely being misleading here... I'm just expanding on an argument that was made. What other people do or don't do is irrelevant to me.

And along with what everyone else said....Screw CMS and what they "think". When they send out a letter saying to stop using the name, then address it. I doubt you'll hear the first word.

There are Medicare.com and Medicare.org websites operating. If they haven't been shut down, I doubt local offices have anything to fear as long as they don't claim governmental association.

That's not the argument I'm making. I agree with you, for sure. The point was IS it misleading, not if it being misleading would cause action. 1 dildo complains you get hit with compliance. It literally just happened to me.

Throughout Arizona, an insurance agency is occupying rented storefront/stripcenters etc. calling themselves the Medicare Enrollment Center. There is one in North Phoenix that is half a block north of the Social Security office . Nothing is forbidden anymore peeps. Have at it.
