Licensed Instructor for Agent Medicare Certification

This certification is required by the Texas Department of Insurance for all insurance agents who wish to sell Medicare-related insurance.

At Boomer Benefits, which is a licensed Medicare insurance broker, Danielle coaches a team of over 40 full-time licensed agents. All of them are experts who help people learn about and navigate Medicare every day. Her team assists Medicare beneficiaries daily in 48 states. Frequent training and legislative updates from Danielle help this team to solve common problems with Medicare for our valued clients.
Danielle’s Approach to Client Service
Her agency employs a full-time Client Service Team to assist its thousands of policyholders, free of charge. This team helps clients with everything that happens after the purchase of a Medicare supplemental insurance product.
They can resolve simple issues like reordering lost ID cards. However, they also frequently resolve major issues such as unpaid claims or doctor office billing codes that are incorrect. Her team offers beneficiaries personalized service. The Client Service Team saves them the time and effort of chasing down answers at huge call centers run by insurance companies.
Here’s why Danielle believes a Client Service Team is so important:
“People on Medicare don’t want to call a 1-800 number at a huge insurance company to find out why their application was denied or why their claim wasn’t paid. They don’t want to chase down billing reps at doctor’s offices or hospitals either when it’s necessary for them to resubmit a claim. They want to simply call their insurance agency to handle it. Medicare beneficiaries want to reach a real person who cares about their problem and has experience in dealing with this type of problem, and have that person walk them through resolution of that problem from start to finish. And that’s what we give them here at Boomer Benefits.”
