Medical GAP Coverage PLEASE MUTE YOUR PHONE THANK YOU! Oberlin Marketing Fort Wayne, IN (260) 486-9739

A product designed to help bridge the “gaps” in traditional insurance. A solution to rising healthcare costs. Helps employers save premium dollars and helps employees protect themselves against financial strain created by increased out of pocket costs. Healthcare Costs are out of control. Fifteen years ago, GAP was not needed. In today’s market, agents and their clients are being forced to find alternatives.
4
The following slides give a great visual effect of the direction our group health market is headed. In order continue positive growth, agents and their clients must be willing to adapt to the changes.
5
This slide shows how in just over 10 years, the cost of healthcare has risen almost 175%, with a good portion of that increase coming in the last 5 years.

Inpatient Hospital Benefit - $500 - $10,000 annual maximum per insured person. - The max for an insured’s family is 3x the above coverage. * This coverage is for inpatient stays, inpatient surgery, in- hospital physician charges, and emergency room treatment if admitted to hospital. Outpatient Hospital Benefit - 40%-70% of the inpatient hospital benefit per insured. - The family benefit is 3x this coverage as well. * This coverage is for services rendered in hospital emergency room, hospital outpatient facility, outpatient surgical facility, or MRI facility. Physician Office Visit - $10-$50 per visit per insured person; 1-3 visits per year. Ambulance Benefit (Accident Only) - $50-$350 per person. 3x the benefit per family.

-Retention – When renewal cases have increases, GAP gives the agent another option to help renew the case. -New Business – When an agent can bring a fresh idea to a prospect that they have never seen before, it differentiates that agent from the competition. If the agent can show the employer a savings and keep the out of pocket expenses down, the odds of winning that case are much higher. -Commission – Agents and agencies will earn commissions when a GAP is sold. This is a way to earn additional money on top of the commission earned in the sale of the group case itself.

Money Saver HRACrescent Medical Bridge Gap What makes them different? First Dollar Coverage Employees must satisfy a $1,500 deductible before any money is paid out. Will not cover the per occurrence copays associated with hospital stays, outpatient surgeries, and outpatient diagnostics. No deductible. Gap will pay First Dollar for eligible expenses. This includes deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. This will also cover the $500 per occurrence for Hospital stays and the $250 per occurrence for outpatient surgery, as well as the $300 copay for outpatient major diagnostics. Coinsurance Plan usually has coinsurance built in which can increase the total out-of-pocket. No coinsurance. Gap pays first dollar. Aggregate Coverage Max Plan has a max coverage of $8,500 for Inpatient and Outpatient expenses combined. Inpatient = $10,000 Outpatient = $7,000 Monthly Rate based on census $5,791.27 $4,390.12 $1,401.15 savings This group switched to a $10,000 deductible plan with copays and per occurrence deductibles. They implemented a very common HRA plan that will pay a max of $8,500. The employees have to satisfy a $1,500 deductible before any benefit is paid out. The below chart shows why switching to a Crescent Medical Bridge Gap Plan may be a better option.
