Medicare: Your Journey to the Top” Aug. 23 – 25, 2022
As part of their ‘Journey to the Top,’ on Aug. 23-25 more than 700 agents, company representatives, physician groups and carriers will be gathering at the 10th Annual Senior Summit to share ideas, hear about new products and features.
At the Pechanga Resort, participants will be able to complete training, including educational certifications, and learn of legislative issues and concerns affecting the Medicare focused marketplace. Agents and companies have shared that this meeting is vital to their preparation and kick off for the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2022.
There is so much to share that the event has expanded to three full days! The program kicks off on Tuesday with
“Companies First Look and Product Trainings” that will continue into the next day. Companies include Aetna, Alignment, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of CA, Brand New Day, Central Health Plan, Centene, SCAN, UHC, WellCare, and more.
And, to finish up the day, a fun cocktail party swings into action on the first evening on the rooftop! On Wednesday,
the program is jam packed with speakers and presenters. Thursday will be dedicated to education and break-out sessions (some with CE’s).
This year we are pleased to present our keynote Dan Clark, motivational speaker extraordinaire and author of many inspirational books including “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” He will also be leading a workshop addressing leadership and more!
This year is important for legislative issues on both the state and federal levels and especially addressing the just released CMS Marketing Guidelines for the upcoming AEP. A legislative panel will feature NAHU SVP of Government Affairs Marcy Buckner, Legislative Advocate at California Advocates Faith Borges, and Principal Nick Uehlecke of Todd Strategy Group. The panel will share insights, key issues and concerns for Medicare beneficiaries and agents.
Our educational break-out sessions will address a number of key topics that have been requested by our previous attendees. While being finalized at the time of the writing of this article, topics will include these and more:
• Determining the right structure of your business (sole proprietor or LLC or C corp);
• Addressing senior needs
• Understanding and offering ancillary and supplemental benefits
• Helping clients with the challenges of drug coverage
• succession planning
