Agent Update Memo — December 2024
Below you will find new Medicare training and information both from Senior Marketing Specialists and the insurance industry as a whole.
Senior Marketing Specialists Updates
- New 2025 Medicare Cost Sheets can be found on the AEP Toolkit!
- We have been getting a lot of questions regarding any word of new Med Supps coming out or rate increases.
- No word on any new carriers coming out!
- On CSG’s quote engine, select “market analytics” and you will be able to see when carriers last took an increase! We typically only see one increase per year and carriers are usually consistent on when they occur.

Everyone is eager to help with issues big and small. Regardless of the size of my book of business, Senior Marketing Specialists always make me feel that my clients are important to them, which makes me feel important to them. Not only are they a great resource, but they also work to equip me with tools to grow my business. But the feel of their relationship is much more than a resource as they make me feel like they are part of my team. I do not know that I would have had the confidence to start my own business without them on my side.
