Crony Capitalism at its finest. It pays to have political connections.
Oh I need to change the title in the thread from April to May...due to the fact the carriers have delayed the payment due date by a month. Can you say "Out on a limb"?
I will be surprised if there are many agents willing to continue dealing with HIX business after April. By then they will have an idea of how many of their 1/1 policies actually paid out and how much (or little). Certainly by June expect to see some fallout.
seems I recall someone telling everyone to get out NOW!...... run away, you cant make it...... who was that again?
Hey, I remember that guy, too! Who was Mr. GET OUT NOW!? Maybe he got out???
A long time ago, we were saying that the things needed to survive through the turmoil of this season would be:
1. A strong financial base, either a large book of renewals, or other streams of income, or cash/assets to draw from during the "famine" in commission receipts.
2. Preferably 15+ years of experience, although it's possible for people with 5-10 years to still make it.
3. A willingness to pivot on a dime, and recognize when you need to change your business model to meet the new realities.
4. A smoothly operating process, with clear procedures to be able to process a volume of business.

Ann, that is exactly what needed to be done to have a successful open enrollment.
After seeing the early October debacle aka Healthcare,gov I quickly decided it was a waste of time to focus any effort there and instead really worked on my clients who were paying too much as well as reaching out for referrals.
It all worked, just as I know it has for you.

That is a disgrace, I would have cleared over $2K on that policy and been paid in full within two weeks.
You have really gotten shafted, you are a loyal guy and don't deserve this...
I was advised to do that after ACA passed and its totally worked. I sell health. And dental, vision, life, ltd on my groups. That's it. Exchange business only if required (and really only via my BCBSTX link, if they want to link through to healthcare.gov). Straight to BCBSTX. No General Agent. No Middle Man. Works so much better. I don't think the agents are going to get cut-out, I think its the GA's.

Yep, a hand full of us have been loyal for over 15 years but loyalty was never a two way street, now age scares us.
