Finally the Medicare Telemarketers are being fined for the constant deceptive sales practices and bombardment phone calls. About time

145 MILLION due to Unsolicited Calls and deceptive practices by lead generating companies!!! YES! These are the first ones to be held accountable! THANK YOU to those agents who went into their communities and educated on how to file the complaints!

Assurance IQ, LLC and MediaAlpha, Inc. will pay a total of $145 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they misled millions of consumers seeking to buy comprehensive health insurance. In two separate actions, the FTC alleged that both Assurance and MediaAlpha deceived consumers and led them to purchase plans that did not provide the promised health care coverage, and bombarded consumers with telemarketing and robocalls.

“Coherently and systematically addressing unlawful lead generation is a priority for the FTC. That’s especially so in connection to health insurance, one of the most expensive and important products consumers buy to protect themselves and their families. Consumers should receive accurate, truthful, and non-misleading information about the coverage insurance provides,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. “The FTC will take action when lead generators or other sellers break the law and harm the American people.”

Phone / online brokers are not local brokers so be careful when you enroll this way as they may not know local medical providers in your area and may not be available when you have questions after enrollment.

The broker search tool in the article only shows a handful of brokers in your area. Closest one was 50 miles from my zipcode. And these brokers pay to be members of this search tool.

Lastly ask your friends and family who they use-- they will give you the best recommendations!!

Our agency has been built by referrals and by being in the community for 17 years!!

What does a Medicare agent or broker do? How do they get paid? Where do you find a trustworthy one? Here’s what you need to know.
