How Medicare Special Needs Plans Are Changing—and How Agents Can Support Clients NowRecent shifts in Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs), especially those affecting dual-eligible (D-SNP) beneficiaries, are causing ripples both for insurance professionals and the vulnerable individuals they serve. In this episode of Insurance Business Babes, Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff break down what's ahead and offer actionable strategies for agents to stay ahead of these changes.Understanding the Major Benefit ReductionsBeginning in 2026, CMS regulations will roll back many popular ancillary benefits for D-SNPs—including the much-loved grocery card. While chronically ill SNP beneficiaries (C-SNPs) may still qualify for these extras, dual-eligible clients will see notable losses. For many low-income individuals, these grocery benefits made up a crucial portion of their monthly "income," so the impact will be significant.Why This Matters: Client and Agent ImplicationsThe removal of grocery and ancillary benefits doesn't just hurt consumers; insurance agents relying on those “perks” to showcase plan value will need to adjust their approach. The focus will have to return to the medical coverage itself—maximum out-of-pocket costs, plan networks, and real medical needs—rather than the shiny add-ons.Compliant Communication: Getting Ahead of the CurveRegulation limits how and when agents can warn clients about specific plan changes. However, Kathe and Joanna recommend proactive and compliant communication:Send out educational newsletters focusing on national policy or regulation shifts, not plan specifics, to maintain compliance.Create video content raising awareness about upcoming regulatory changes, with clear calls-to-action for annual reviews.Segment your outreach using a CRM to target only affected D-SNP clients, avoiding unnecessary concern for unaffected beneficiaries.Building Resourcefulness for ClientsLosing financial help through Medicare plans means clients may turn to other social supports. Agents can add value by compiling local and national resources—food banks, utility assistance, community gardens, and home-sharing services—to include in their outreach.Time to Be the Trusted AdvisorAs we move towards AEP and beyond, insurance professionals must reclaim their role as consultants rather than benefit brokers. Proactively supporting clients through these changes—with information, empathy, and local resources—will protect your book of business and earn long-term trust.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

”Oh look — Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Because what this $5,000 problem really needed was a damn menu.” When you offer three-tiered pricing because “that's how pricing psychology works, right?”… All you're doing is giving your best clients more questions, more confusion, and a way to spend less money. You're not a SaaS. You're not a wedding cake. And tiered pricing? That's just ONE of six "big, dumb stupid idiot" pricing mistakes in this week's podcast episode. Step into the “Pricing Confessional” with me to talk about the mistakes we're all kinda ashamed of: “I'm in a place where I say yes to anything I can get my hands on.” “I've generally undercharged throughout my career.” “I've allowed clients to negotiate lower rates.” “I would love to raise that rate but this is what I'm comfortable with right now.” “I have not had a very consistent pricing structure — everything has been too custom.” Sound familiar? You know it's dumb. Let's fix it. It's time to STOP pricing like a big dumb stupid idiot and START being smarter about your pricing so you can actually attract and close those high-end clients you want.

Preparing for AEP: Embracing Technology and Proactive Strategies in the Insurance IndustryHost Kathe Kline and guest Dalton Miller dove headfirst into the changing landscape of Annual Election Period (AEP) preparation and why insurance agents must stay ahead of industry trends—especially in today's rapidly evolving environment. Here's a breakdown of the key takeaways and how you can apply them to your business.The Countdown to AEP Is On: Get Ahead EarlyDalton opened the conversation with a reality check—there are fewer business days than you think before AEP kicks off. The urgency is real. Agents waiting until the last minute risk being overwhelmed, particularly as changes around prescription drug plans (PDPs) from regulatory shifts like the Inflation Reduction Act are generating more client questions, confusion, and inbound phone calls.Turning Industry Challenges Into OpportunitiesRather than seeing incoming calls as disruptions, savvy agents seize them as opportunities. Dalton pointed out that proactive outreach—whether in-person appointments or virtual consults—can turn client confusion about drug costs into relationship-building moments. Agents who capitalize on these touchpoints not only help clients, but also strengthen retention and potentially restart commission cycles with plan changes.Tech Tools: Your Secret Weapon for EfficiencyFrom automated scheduling links to drug list collection surveys like RetireFlo, technology is non-negotiable. Kathe stressed the time-savings and organizational benefits of tools like calendar links and integrated form submissions for medication lists. If you're not using technology, you're likely doing double work and risking costly errors. Importantly, Kathe and Dalton both emphasized the need for HIPAA-compliant CRMs. Not only does this protect client data, but it future-proofs your continuity if you switch FMOs.Be Proactive, Communicate, and Set BoundariesA recurring theme was proactive communication. Don't be shy—send out birthday cards, newsletters, or helpful updates. Let your book of business know you are their first call. Importantly, set boundaries: make it clear when you'll review Med Supps and PDPs, and educate clients on why you don't do everything during AEP. This manages workload and builds compliant, loyal relationships.Final Word: Start Now and Beat the RushDalton, channeling Paul Revere, reminded listeners: “AEP is coming!” The key is to establish streamlined, compliant systems now—before the wave hits. Tools that save time, reduce manual work, and improve client experience aren't just luxuries—they're business necessities. In the words of Kathe, “Why are you doing double work? Let technology set you free.”Ready to thrive this AEP? Invest in tech, standardize your client communication, and start prepping now—you'll thank yourself come October.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

A Royal Experience: The Power of Insurance Sales Incentive TripsIn the latest episode of Insurance Business Babes, hosts Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff dove into the unique world of insurance sales incentive trips—what they're really like, how they differ from standard industry conferences, and the unexpected lessons learned along the way.Winning the Trip: More Than Just NumbersJoanna recently qualified for Physicians Mutual's prestigious sales convention as an IMO, a milestone she reached within just a few short years of launching her agency, Top Flight. She described the event as “phenomenal,” highlighting luxury treatments, thoughtful gifts, upscale dining, and—perhaps most importantly—the chance to interact directly with company leadership, including the CEO. This kind of recognition and access proves invaluable, affirming the significance of consolidating business with supportive carriers.The Difference Between Paid Conferences and Qualifier TripsUnlike large events you pay to attend, qualifier incentive trips have a distinct energy: attendees are all top producers. This changes the tenor of the conversation—from business talk and networking, to genuine relationship-building. As Joanna noted, “Most of the people wanted to just get to know you as a person.” These environments foster deeper connections, peer learning, and opportunities to exchange high-level ideas.Key Takeaways: Loyalty, Support, and ReferralsA surprising insight from Joanna's experience was the advantage of funneling business to a limited number of strong, supportive carriers. Spreading applications among many companies may dilute recognition and support. Kathe talked about her own MDRT days, emphasizing the business boost gained from sharing personal touches (like hand-written postcards from conferences) and getting to know clients beyond their policies. Relationship-centered business not only makes for enjoyable work but also leads to more and better referrals.The Real Value: Community and GrowthWhether you're striving to qualify for a trip or investing in paid industry events, the Insurance Business Babes remind us: get out there, network, build real relationships, and always be open to new ideas. These are the keys to both personal satisfaction and business success in insurance.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our new study on the Book of James, wait a minute, we have a theme going here, the brothers of Jesus. James kicks us off by sharing an experience of listening for the voice of God and hearing the message "Value the Shadow People" and the many months asking, seeking and trying to discern the meaning. Memorial Day weekend (ironically) in 2023 the discernment was clear; as he looked out in his backyard and noticed that God had placed so many amazing people in his life, young, old, tattoos, jacked up pasts and that God had surrounded him with his tribe, the shadow people...exactly where he belonged because he himself was a shadow person.The conversation then heads into the backstage; Gold, Silver, Bronze passes to meet Jesus, and how important it is to spend alone time with Jesus...after all, we pay all this money to meet these famous musicians and celebrities and the backstage pass with Jesus is FREE!!Such an awesome conversation and no surprise, a Memorial Day story kicks us off and as I type this, it is Memorial Day...God is just THAT GOOD!!To all the fellow Shadow People, we love you and we encourage you to invite someone to church, to Bible Study or into the fold...cuz statistics show, 88% of people are waiting for the invite and will say yes.Happy Memorial Day to all and we lift ALL families and ALL brothers and sisters that have paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can praise and worship in FREEDOM. To ALL who have served this great country, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts of YOUR SERVICE. God Bless the United States of America.Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?Have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

Technology Transforming the Insurance Business: Insights from the Insurance Business Babes PodcastBig Changes and Hard Decisions In the most recent episode of "Insurance Business Babes," Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff offered an honest look into the critical decisions agents face—and how technology is rapidly reshaping insurance workflows. Kathe shared her journey of moving her business to Top Flight after years with a large organization that incentivized her with significant marketing dollars. But as her marketing needs evolved and desired operational changes (like making her assistant an LOA) decreased her benefits, it became clear a transition was necessary—especially when the promise of better technology was on the table.Battling Tech Overload and Disjointed Systems Kathe discussed the costly and frustrating attempt to piece together different tech tools like Connecture and RetireFlo to streamline Plan D (PDP) processes. The discovery that critical carrier data and functions—like syncing client medication lists—were not universally available added to the complexity and inefficiency. Her experience highlights a pain point many independent agents face: technology fragmentation and the challenge of staying informed about what's possible with evolving systems.The Sunfire Revelation A key takeaway from the episode is the game-changing functionality of Sunfire's "secret" Blaze Sync URL. This under-the-radar feature lets agents send clients a unique survey link, so clients can update their medication lists themselves—automatically populating Sunfire with accurate data. The catch? Very few agents seemed to know about it, due to gaps in communication from uplines and the sheer flood of carrier and FMO emails that overwhelm most inboxes.Improving Communication in the Industry Kathe's frustration—and Joanna's insight as an upline—underscores an industry-wide issue: critical updates get lost in the barrage of impersonal emails and irrelevant invites. Their solution? Uplines must invest in real personal communication, not just mass shotgun email blasts.Conclusion This episode reminds us that while insurance tech is advancing rapidly, cultivating genuine relationships and customized support is just as essential. Whether you're an agent or an upline, cutting through the digital noise and focusing on meaningful solutions can make all the difference—for your business and your clients.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

This may be Tim Butterly's final appearance on the Bonfire for a while because he's moving to Austin. Jacob is sad about this, so to make him feel better, they perform a new episode of the hit sitcom "Jacob Loves Guys." Jay and Christine saw Kendrick Lamar in concert and Jay gives a full review. They are going to a Marylin Manson show tonight and a person claiming to be him calls Bobby's cell. More than a few wrestlers who appear on "Legion Of Skanks" wind up dead shortly after. The great Sabu guested on Jay's other show last Monday and was found diseased the next day. A large bronze statue of an everyday black woman was erected in Times Square and she seems pissed off. On May 22nd Tim Butterly will perform a "Going Away" show at SoulJoel's in Pottstown PA. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolfSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Bonfire ad-free and a whole week early.  Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.

Why Agents Should Think Twice Before Celebrating Industry “Good News”On the latest episode of Insurance Business Babes, hosts Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff dive into the issues behind Medicare's disaster SEPs (Special Election Periods), recent government reversals, and why not all agent celebrations are necessarily cause for joy. If you're an agent who's popped the champagne over recent changes, this episode is for you.When "Wins" Aren't Wins for EveryoneThe government recently reversed a rule, now allowing agents to enroll clients using the disaster SEP again, rather than having clients call Medicare directly. On the surface, this sounds like a win, but Kathe and Joanna urge caution. The reversal makes it easier for bad actors—especially call centers—to abuse SEPs for commission, often enrolling vulnerable clients in unsuitable or unnecessary plans. The end result? Honest agents face unfair competition and a system that can hurt clients without careful oversight.The Real Cost of Abused SEPsDisaster SEPs are meant for people genuinely affected by natural disasters and unable to enroll during typical periods. Kathe shares stories about agents moving clients between plans quarter after quarter under questionable pretense. Not only does this strain trust in the industry, but it also puts pressure on carriers and small agents alike. Frequent rollovers, rapid disenrollment, and adverse selection can damage both client outcomes and carrier profitability, leading to fewer good products in the market.Small Business Agents: The Ones Getting SqueezedAs Joanna notes, regulatory changes intended to clamp down on abuse often make life harder for solo agents and small agencies, not the big call centers causing most issues. Increased documentation, lengthy disclaimers, and constant regulation can be overwhelming, especially when honest agents get painted with the same broad brush.Celebrate Wisely—and Put Clients FirstFinally, Kathe and Joanna remind agents that cutting corners or exploiting loopholes ultimately harms your reputation and client base. Instead, build your book with integrity, focus on true client needs, and don't be swayed by industry “wins” that may only benefit the big players. Diversify, cross-sell, and always act as if you were advising your own family member—your clients (and your business) will thank you for it.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

It's another fully regrettable episode.  Wait, who writes this stuff??  It's actually a full and complete episode made entirely of Jay's Regrettable Segments, where he pulls a semi-obscure (depending on who's listening) superhero from the archives of Jon Morris's book, The League of Regrettable Superheroes, then tells the story after a brief “brought to you by” ad from Art the Announcer Guy.  Said (or sad) superheroes are then rated as Regrettable, Redeemable, or Not Regrettable (super original, right?)   In this segment of segments, The Silver Age closes out with Spyman, then the heroes enter the Bronze and/or Modern Age, depending on how you define it, with Adam-X the X-treme, Holo-Man, and The Outsiders (probably not the ones you're thinking about.)  And like the Super Bowl, even if the heroes are regrettable, this one's worth listening to just for the ads.  

Years later, the boys finally talk about No Heroes by Converge. For realsies.
