Medicare Script - "Medicare Made Simple"

Creating a Medicare script for agents requires a clear and concise structure to effectively communicate information and address potential questions from clients. Below is a sample script that agents can use as a starting point. Keep in mind that this script is a general guide and may need to be customized based on specific products, services, and regulations in your region.

Introduction:

1. Greeting:

   • "Hello [Client's Name], this is [Your Name], and I'm a licensed Medicare agent. How are you today?"

2. Establishing Purpose:

   • "The reason for my call today is to provide you with information about Medicare and discuss your healthcare coverage options. Have you had a chance to review your current plan recently?"

Understanding Client's Situation:

3. Assessment:

   • "To better assist you, could you briefly share your experiences with your current healthcare coverage? Are there any specific concerns or preferences you have in mind?"

4. Current Coverage:

Educational Segment:

5. Medicare Overview:

   • "Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. It consists of different parts, such as Part A, Part B, Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage)."

6. Coverage Gaps:
