Hello,
I have been licensed for several years, dipped my toe in Final Expense very briefly, didn't like it, and have been an Independent Career Agent with United Healthcare Medicare Solutions for the last 2 years in Tampa Bay Florida selling Medicare Advantage and Med Supps.
I am moving inland slightly to Polk County ( Lakeland), close enough to service my existing clients, but actually a different district for UHC so I would transfer area's and write new business under a different manager.
I am trying to decide wether to do that and stay as an ICA with UHC, or switch to an FMO, so asking for recommendations from experienced folks on here.
My existing UHC manager suggested 3 FMO options....Golden Outlook (National), Jack Schroeder Associates (National), and MCC (Tampa).
Do any of you folks know anything about these and if they would be good for me in Central West Florida?
I am aware of some of the good reputations of FMO's who post on these boards but thinking maybe Medicare in Florida is not the strongest area for them...am I wrong about that? Are any of the FMO's on here a good choice for Medicare in Florida?
Other's that come to mind are Gordon Marketing who I think may be strong representing UHC and possibly get leads?
Ritter?
Senior Market Specialists?
Not sure if these or others may be good for Florida? Do any of you know or have experience or knowledge with these or others?
Finally, if I stay captive with UHC in Polk County, I suspect it may be a different experience (for better or worse) than Tampa Bay. Perhaps more Med Supps in Polk than Tampa? less competition in Med Advantage?
Do any of you have any experience or knowledge of this or other differences?
Thank you all in advance, I read these forums regularly and know many of you have a lot of good advice and experience!
