How Medicare Agents Are Paid

As an independent Medicare insurance broker, our role is to provide you with an unbiased, well-informed overview of various Medicare plans. Since we partner with numerous insurance carriers, we don't favor any one company and are committed to representing YOUR best interests, not those of the insurance providers.

Medicare agents earn commissions from insurance companies for the Medicare plans they help you enroll in.

Here’s a quick summary:

Commission-Based:

Agents receive commissions when you sign up for Medicare Advantage, Medigap, or Medicare Part D plans. These commissions may be a one-time payment or recurring annually.

No Cost to You:

The cost of our services is covered by the insurance companies, not you. Our assistance is free and doesn’t affect the cost of your plan.

Types of Agents:

Independent agents work with multiple insurance companies and can offer a wide variety of options, while captive agents are employed by a single company and only offer its products.

So, how are we paid?

How is an independent Medicare broker paid?

An independent Medicare broker like MAC Insurance works with a wide range of insurance carriers. This allows them to shop around for your policy, ensuring you receive the best possible price and coverage. Experienced shoppers know that independent brokers prioritize educating their clients first, allowing them to make informed decisions. This approach is the most ethical and effective way we’ve found to help you.

Here’s how the process works:

1. You reach out by phone or submit a request for Medicare information.

2. We compare rates from over 20 different insurance companies.

3. You select the policy that best suits your needs.

4. The insurance company pays our commission.

5. We continue offering you free support and top-notch customer service throughout your journey.

Why is working with an independent Medicare broker best?

At MAC Insurance, we simplify Medicare for you and provide all the information you need to make an informed choice.

We also offer insights such as financial ratings and rate trends, which may be difficult to find elsewhere.

As independent brokers, we give you unbiased advice on plans from various Medicare providers, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable with your decision.

Is your service really free?

Yes, you won't pay anything for our help! The cost of a Medicare Advantage, Supplement, or Part D plan will be the same whether you purchase it directly from the insurance company or through an independent broker like MAC Insurance.

We receive a commission from the insurance company for helping you enroll in their plan. That’s how Medicare agents are compensated. If you purchase directly from the insurer, they keep that commission, and you miss out on the customer service and support that a broker like us provides.
