~45 secHello, is [Client Name] available?
Hi [Client Name], my name is [Your Full Name] and I am a local Medicare Advisor with [Your Agency], on a recorded line. I am calling because you recently submitted a request for information about Medicare plans. I just wanted to reach out personally to help you right here in [City / State / your area].
Find their trigger.
2–3 minQuick question before we dive in — when you were looking at Medicare plans online, was there something specific that caught your eye? For example, were you looking at a grocery benefit, dental coverage, money back on your Part B premium, or something else?
If they said → expand the matching branch
A Grocery
"Great — that grocery allowance is one of my favorites to talk about. That benefit is available on certain plans for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. Quick question — are you currently on Medicaid or receiving any state assistance with your health coverage?"
B Part B giveback
"Good — that is one of my favorite benefits because it actually puts real money back in your Social Security check every month. To see if that is available to you, are you currently paying the standard Part B premium — around $185 a month?"
C Dental
"Great — dental is one of the most underused benefits in Medicare Advantage. A lot of people do not realize it is even available. Do you currently have any dental coverage at all, or are you paying out of pocket when you go to the dentist?"
D OTC
"Good — that spending allowance can add up fast. It is basically a quarterly allowance you can use on things like vitamins, pain relievers, blood pressure monitors, even some personal care items. Are you currently on a Medicare Advantage plan or do you have Original Medicare?"
E Not sure / browsing
"No problem at all — a lot of people just want to make sure they are not missing out on something. Let me ask you this: what does your current coverage look like? Are you on a Medicare Advantage plan or do you have Original Medicare?"
Their coverage answer feeds straight into the coverage check below — no yes/no fork.
What is your current coverage — are you on a Medicare Advantage plan right now, or do you have Original Medicare?
Required before any plan discussion.
5–7 minAs I mentioned, I am licensed and appointed with the top Medicare carriers in your area. What that means for you is that I will do a deep dive into your coverage options today to make sure we are maximizing every benefit you are entitled to. One important thing to know about these plans is that they change every year. Copays, out-of-pocket costs, and additional benefits can all shift. That is why it is important to shop and compare your coverage each year. Before we get into the specifics, I need to read you two quick disclosures. It takes less than a minute and then we can focus on finding you the best plan.
Pick the value statement for the current enrollment period
