10 Portability for Clients Leaving Group Coverage Note on Portability for the Client Leaving a Group Plan – A requirement for HIPAA eligibility is that a client has been most recently covered under an employer plan. –The Short-Term Plan is NOT an employer plan –Therefore, coverage under this Short-Term Plan will make a person ineligible for a HIPAA guaranteed issue plan.

11 The Role of the Agent Requirement: Client MUST be able to answer all health- related application questions “No”: If any health question is answered “YES” the policy will not be issued. Agent’s Next Steps Calculate full premium based upon the per day rate for the length of coverage and type of policy (i.e. Single, Family, etc.) Decide on the method of payment ( i.e., VISA, MC, Discover Card or check)

12 The Role of the Agent How to calculate the premium…………. 1. Identify the Zip code of your client’s residence address; 2. Choose the deductible; 3. Find age range of the applicant* on effective date to determine the “per day rate”; then 4. Multiply per day rate by number of days selected. *Use age of older spouse for Family plans and the age of youngest child for Children-only policies.

13 The Role of the Agent –Leave the client a conditional receipt; –verify answers to the health questions; –if payment method selected is check, mail the application and premium check to UNICARE in custom color preprinted envelope; –or submit via fax if client used the credit card payment method.

14 What if the Need for Short-Term Coverage Continues? Short-Term coverage is non-renewable Your client may apply for additional Short-Term coverage after his or her policy expires. Your client may elect a total of 2 Short-Term policies with less than 6 months lapse in between. After that, there is a mandatory 6-month waiting period before your client can take out another Short Term Policy.

15 What Happens After You Submit the Application? The UNICARE Membership Department validates Application information Full premium payment is enclosed or authorized Coverage becomes effective At 12:01 a.m. the day after the U.S.Postal Service postmark date stamped on the envelope or date client specifies after the signature date Client receives a plastic ID card first then Policy booklet with specification page in a 2 nd mailing.

16 Commissions UNICARE pays 15% broker commissions on STP sales. Each sale adds ½ point toward conference qualifications. The STP was created to help your clients by providing options for coverage in times of need. Make your sales efforts more productive by cross-selling this new plan with other products you currently market.
