What is MedicareAgentTraining.com?
MedicareAgentTraining.com is an online training platform that teaches insurance agents everything about selling Medicare Supplements by phone.
The Medicare Agent Training website provides agents with all the necessary resources to competently sell Medicare Supplement plans.
Medicare Supplement insurance sold by private companies helps to fill the gaps present in Medicare when it doesn’t cover particular health care services and supply costs.
A Medicare Supplement Insurance policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs left over after Medicare has been applied, like co-payments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
The advantage of Medicare Supplement insurance is that it is your doctor and not the health plan that determines what you get in terms of coverage.
Medicare Agent Training is focused on finding the best solutions for senior customers who would otherwise be paying large sums in premiums through their existing insurance plans.
With Medicare Supplement, they are able to get the same coverage at lower rates.
Who is Christopher Westfall?
Christopher Westfall is a nationally-recognized Medicare insurance trainer and agency owner.
He became an insurance agent after a 15-year long career as a law enforcement officer. He started working in insurance full time in 2008 and got interested in Medicare products which led him to Medicare Supplements as his primary focus.
Christopher Westfall has successfully trained thousands of insurance professionals through the Medicare Agent Training program. He also runs a very successful call center with thousands of Medicare clients.
What are the benefits of MedicareAgentTraining.com?
One of the main advantages of selling Medicare Supplements is that it is much simpler to learn than selling Medicare Advantage, an “all in one” alternative to original Medicare.
It is also arguably simpler to market and sell, and ultimately to make a profit, by helping seniors evaluate and change their existing plans.
To sell Medicare Advantage you have to get:
-
- An annual AHIP certification, which acts as proof that you have completed the required Medicare training courses. It takes 8 hours to complete and costs $170.
-
- A separate certification with each contracted carrier.
At the same time, selling Medicare Supplements requires no training and no certification.
Only a health insurance license is needed in order to sell Medicare Supplements in all states. The exception is North Carolina where a special Medicare Supplement license is also required.
A non-resident license can be easily obtained online in every state where you intend to sell insurance over the phone.
Unlike Medicare Advantage, there are no restrictions on a specific time frame for selling a Medicare Supplement plan.
Agents can sell the plans anywhere and at any time. While there are agents that sell Medicare Supplements face-to-face, Chris teaches agents to make sales by phone which allows them to lower the costs and reach even more customers.
Members of the MedicareAgentTraining.com platform enjoy exclusive access to email support, phone and in-person consultations (at an additional cost) and numerous resources including:
-

My Thoughts
Chris and I have been friends for many years now, and I occasionally have him on as a guest on my insurance sales training YouTube channel.
Chris is a top-notch professional and was well ahead of the curve on insurance telesales in general, and specifically selling Medicare Supplements by phone.
I highly recommend Medicare Agent Training to anyone serious about selling Medicare Supplements and wanting to sell exclusively sight-unseen over the phone.
Check out the two interviews I did with Chris below to get more of an idea about what he does and how he works.
