Medicare Insurance Agents Predict Increased Sales of Dental Coverage Reports AAMSI
“Some 93 percent of surveyed agents sell stand-alone dental insurance coverage to seniors,” states
The Association survey found that only 7 percent of the Medicare-focused agents participating in the survey reported that they do not sell dental plans.
The majority, 52.5 percent, of survey participants reported selling dental plans from 3-to-4 different insurance companies. According to the survey, some 6.1 percent offer only one dental insurance carrier’s dental plan. The survey found that 15.2 percent offered plans from two insurers while 26.3 percent reported offering plans from five or more different insurers.
“Over the past year we have seen an increase in the number of senior consumers reaching out to us for information regarding dental plan options,” Slome acknowledged. “I attribute the increase in interest to the barrage of television ads touting free dental and vision benefits included with Medicare coverage. The free benefits are limited to Medicare Advantage plans but many consumers do not differentiate between the various names for Medicare insurance coverage.”
Agents were optimistic about sales of dental insurance policies in 2022. Some 69 percent expected their 2022 sales will increase compared to the just-concluded year. Only 1 percent predicted sales would decrease while 30 percent replied that they anticipated sales would remain about the same.
