Dec 27, 2023 5 min read

If you’ve been selling Medicare insurance solutions for any length of time, you know that efficiency is key to success. You’ve got to be able to help clients faster than your competition, and you must have the ability to meet with them no matter how they prefer to meet – whether in person, over the phone, online or even via text. Plus, you’ve got to do it all at the lowest cost possible in order to maximize your profitability.

Senior Market Sales^® (SMS), in alignment with its Call, Click, Mail or Meet^® strategy, offers a top-notch solution through Lead Advantage Pro^®. This is an all-in-one Medicare enrollment tool, exclusive to SMS agents, that allows you to complete enrollments no matter how clients wish to meet. And now, due to a number of enhancements, Lead Advantage Pro has become even more efficient at helping agents close more sales. Plus, it does it all at no cost to you.

With Lead Advantage Pro you can:

Quickly send and receive applications by email
Save time with an electronic application option
Stay compliant while enrolling Medicare Advantage and Part D clients online
Provide an option to easily record and archive calls for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) compliance^{1, 2}
Enroll and manage leads through a user-friendly dashboard
Get accurate pharmacy, provider and prescription drug list information

And now, due to significant enhancements, Lead Advantage Pro is even more powerful than before in letting you take prospects from lead to enrollment in one place.

Lead Advantage Pro’s latest enhancements:

CMS Disclaimer
CMS now requires agents to include in all communications, the number of carriers and the number of plans offered in any given area. This new feature in Lead Advantage Pro allows for the automatic providing of this information for all plans and carriers you have through SMS. Plus, you even have the ability to add carriers and plans not through SMS.

What’s the benefit to you? You can rest assured that you’re compliant in regards to this requirement.

Client Self-Service Portal
With the new Client Self-Service Portal, you can mass email your clients and invite them to update their prescription, pharmacy, contact and provider data in Lead Advantage Pro.

What’s the benefit to you? This process eliminates back and forth and time spent doing data entry. Depending on the size of your book of business, this could save you countless hours that could be better spent meeting with clients.

Search and Add All Available Plans
You can now capture and track a client’s current plan in Lead Advantage Pro, even if it’s not one available through SMS.

What’s the benefit to you? By knowing which plan a client has, you can more easily and accurately review said plan with them and determine if disruptions mean another plan may fit better for that particular client

Multi-Client Rx Report
Some common insulin drugs are being taken off formularies for major carriers, requiring affected clients to pay the shortfall unless they switch plans or insulin drugs. This report compiles in minutes and identifies which of your clients are impacted so that you can help them evaluate their options.

What’s the benefit to you? By being able to identify which of your clients are affected by these formulary changes, you can recommend cost-saving options.

Voice Scope of Appointment³
There’s no need to have the client physically sign a Scope of Appointment form. Now, the form can be signed by voice permission.

What’s the benefit to you? Gone are the days of waiting for the client to sign the form. This quick, easy process saves you time and expedites the appointment-setting process.

Voice Signature Enrollment
Enroll clients without the need for a paper signature.

What’s the benefit to you? Enroll more clients in less time by allowing them to enroll via this avenue. It’s easier on you. It’s simpler for the client. It’s a win/win for all involved.

HRA Tool
Lead Advantage Pro has partnered with Medicare Advantage and Medicare Advantage plus Part D carriers to streamline health risk assessment (HRA) submissions.

What’s the benefit to you? Now, you can complete HRAs at a later time, at your convenience.
