Endeavor Health

Original Medicare, administered by the federal government, is the foundational health insurance program for Americans aged 65 and older, and for certain younger individuals with disabilities. It consists of two main parts: Part A, which covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health care services; and Part B, which covers medically necessary outpatient services like doctor visits, preventive services, lab tests, durable medical equipment, and some home health care. Unlike private insurance or Medicare Advantage plans, Original Medicare does not include Part D prescription drug coverage, nor does it include routine dental, vision, or hearing services. Beneficiaries typically pay deductibles and coinsurance, and many purchase a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to help cover out-of-pocket costs. Original Medicare provides nationwide access to providers who accept Medicare, without the need for referrals or networks. However, it does not place a cap on annual out-of-pocket expenses, meaning financial exposure can be high for beneficiaries without supplemental coverage.

The next section will explore Duly’s service area and location footprint.

Medicaid, CHIP, and PACE are government-supported programs designed to provide comprehensive health coverage to vulnerable populations. Medicaid serves low-income individuals and families, CHIP covers children in families with incomes too high for Medicaid but too low for private insurance, and PACE delivers coordinated care to older adults eligible for nursing home-level services who prefer to remain in the community. While each program operates with distinct eligibility rules and benefits, they all emphasize access to quality care, patient rights, and managed care delivery models to improve outcomes and control costs. Understanding these programs equips agents to guide clients toward appropriate, cost-effective coverage options.

The Understanding Contracts and Underwriting module provides a foundational exploration into the critical elements of insurance contracts and the underwriting process, key to both compliance and effective client interactions in the insurance industry. It covers the structure and legal principles of insurance agreements, such as offer and acceptance, legal purpose, and insurable interest. The module explains how contracts protect both the insurer and the insured, outlining responsibilities, limitations, exclusions, and the claims process. It also introduces the underwriting process with a focus on Medicare Supplement plans, highlighting how health disclosures, eligibility windows like Guaranteed Issue, and state-specific rules affect applicants. Trainees will gain a deeper understanding of how insurers assess risk, determine eligibility, and enforce contract terms to maintain actuarial balance. This knowledge helps agents set proper client expectations, navigate coverage transitions, and better advocate for members, laying the groundwork for successful plan recommendations and ethical sales practices.

This training module equips ProvideSure agents with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully enroll clients in Medicare plans. Agents begin by verifying eligibility, identifying enrollment periods, and gathering all necessary documentation. They then conduct a compliant needs assessment to understand the client's healthcare priorities, financial situation, and prescription needs, ensuring plan recommendations are accurate and relevant. Using approved tools, agents present plan options clearly and compliantly, emphasizing transparency around benefits, costs, and provider access. Once a plan is selected, agents guide the client through the enrollment process, ensuring all applications are completed correctly, submitted through the appropriate channels, and tracked for follow-up. Compliance is a critical focus throughout the process, including proper documentation, use of scope of appointment forms, and adherence to CMS marketing and communication guidelines. This module establishes a strong foundation for further training in advanced enrollment scenarios, retention strategies, and resolving barriers to coverage.

As an insurance agent, having a deep understanding of Medicare enrollment periods is crucial to guiding your clients through their healthcare decisions. Medicare has specific windows when beneficiaries can enroll, make changes, or switch plans, and missing these deadlines can lead to coverage gaps or costly penalties. Your role is to help clients navigate these periods with confidence, ensuring they enroll at the right time and maximize their benefits.

This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge needed to effectively advise clients on the Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) for first-time enrollees, the General Enrollment Period (GEP) for those who missed their initial opportunity, and Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs) triggered by qualifying life events. Additionally, we will cover the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) and the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (OEP), ensuring you can guide clients through plan changes, switches, and other critical decisions. By the end of this course, you will be well-prepared to educate and support Medicare beneficiaries, helping them make informed choices about their coverage while maintaining compliance with industry regulations.

This ACA (Affordable Care Act) module provides a foundational understanding of the key components of the ACA and how it impacts health insurance markets, eligibility, and client interactions. Agents will learn the structure of Marketplace plans, the role of subsidies (APTC and CSR), essential health benefits, and individual mandates where applicable. The course emphasizes compliance, income verification, Medicaid expansion variations by state, and enrollment period timing. By the end of the module, learners will be able to confidently navigate ACA plans and explain options to clients, particularly those transitioning between Medicaid, employer coverage, and the Marketplace.

This module introduces agents to the key differences between Medicare Supplement (Medigap) and Medicare Advantage plans, providing a foundational understanding necessary for effective plan comparisons and client recommendations. Medigap works alongside Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs and allows nationwide provider access without network restrictions, making it ideal for clients who prioritize flexibility and predictability in healthcare expenses. In contrast, Medicare Advantage plans bundle hospital, medical, and often drug coverage into a single plan with lower premiums and added benefits like vision and dental but require use of network providers and may involve referrals. Agents will learn to align plan types with client needs, preferences, and budget, setting the stage for more in-depth exploration and application in future training.

This module equips ProvideSure agents with the skills and strategies to effectively position and sell ancillary insurance products—especially hospital indemnity plans—as essential components of a complete Medicare Advantage solution. Rather than presenting these products as optional add-ons, agents are trained to bundle them confidently and seamlessly into their Medicare consultations. By leading with products like GTL’s Advantage Plus®, agents can normalize cost protection, address common hospitalization concerns, and differentiate themselves as comprehensive advisors rather than transactional sellers. The module emphasizes using emotional storytelling, real cost data, and brand trust to drive client buy-in while introducing key product benefits such as coverage for short hospital stays, ambulance services, skilled nursing, and cancer care. Ultimately, agents learn to present ancillary coverage as the standard for responsible, value-driven Medicare planning.

Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs) are specialized Medicare Advantage plans designed to provide tailored care, benefits, and prescription drug coverage for beneficiaries living with specific chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart failure, and cardiovascular disorders. To enroll, individuals must be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, live in a plan’s service area, and have an official diagnosis verified by their doctor using a Verification of Chronic Condition (VCC) form within 60 days of enrollment. Agents play a vital role in identifying qualified clients by asking structured health screening questions and guiding them through documentation, objection handling, and enrollment. When offered appropriately, C-SNPs help clients receive condition-specific support, reduce hospitalizations, and improve long-term health outcomes.

Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (DSNPs) are specialized Medicare Advantage plans designed for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans integrate the benefits of traditional Medicare with supplemental Medicaid services, providing tailored care coordination, enhanced benefits, and additional supports that address the complex health needs of dual eligibles. DSNPs offer comprehensive coverage that often includes vision, dental, hearing, transportation, and prescription drug benefits—services that might not be fully covered under standard Medicare or Medicaid alone. By consolidating services and simplifying access to care, DSNPs aim to improve health outcomes and reduce administrative burdens, making them a critical option for vulnerable populations seeking a more coordinated and efficient approach to healthcare.

Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) are a vital part of the support structure for low-income Medicare beneficiaries. These state-run programs are designed to help eligible individuals pay for out-of-pocket Medicare costs such as premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments associated with Medicare Part A and Part B. Understanding MSPs is essential for insurance agents working with seniors and disabled individuals, as enrollment can significantly increase the affordability and accessibility of healthcare. This module will introduce the four primary Medicare Savings Programs, outline eligibility requirements, and provide an overview of the benefits they offer. Agents will gain foundational knowledge that will allow them to identify qualifying clients and assist them in navigating enrollment, ensuring those most in need receive the financial support they deserve.

 
 

The Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), also known as Extra Help, is a federal program that helps Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources afford their Part D prescription drug costs. It reduces or eliminates monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and copayments based on three levels of eligibility tied to income and asset thresholds. Beneficiaries can qualify automatically through programs like Medicaid, SSI, or Medicare Savings Programs, or they can apply through the Social Security Administration or their state Medicaid office. LIS applies to both standalone drug plans (PDPs) and Medicare Advantage plans with drug coverage (MA-PDs), covering only formulary drugs and subsidizing premiums up to the state-specific benchmark amount. Understanding LIS is essential for identifying eligible clients, verifying their status, and helping them choose cost-effective plans that maximize their benefits.
