Hello Nevada Medicare agents,

This is the inaugural episode of the “Serena’s Top 5” series, that I will be sending out every Wednesday throughout AEP, as promised. Every week I will focus on various subjects. This week we are starting big picture, with the top 5 reasons to sell Anthem MAPD. This is a special “two-fer” with a list for each of our two counties, Clark & Washoe:

TOP 5 REASONS TO SELL ANTHEM MAPD FOR 2025 (Clark County):

1. Comprehensive Cancer Centers: Your clients will have access to one of the top provider groups in the market! Access involves just three easy steps:

1. Enroll in the Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO or the Anthem Full Dual Advantage DSNP

2. Select a PCP with Astrana Health (formerly Valley Oaks Medical Group)

3. Get a referral to Comprehensive Cancer Centers

2. Implants: The dental allowance on all Anthem MAPD plans includes implants! Whether it’s the regular HMO, the DSNP, or a CSNP plan, the dental allowance can be used towards implants, or any other billable item (other than cosmetic).

3. Lung CSNP: Anthem will be the only carrier in Clark County to offer a CSNP for Lung conditions

4. $75/mo flex allowance: Both CSNP plans in Clark County offer a $75 per month allowance to spend on OTC, Assistive Devices, Groceries, or Utilities*.

5. 180+ meals: On both CSNP plans, your client will have access to 180 meals (2/day for 90 days) to use whenever they want, PLUS 14 meals (2/day for 7 days) for any post-discharge situation.

TOP 5 REASONS TO SELL ANTHEM MAPD FOR 2025 (Washoe County):

1. $95/qtr OTC allowance: Your client will get $95 per quarter for OTC on the Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO. This allowance does roll over from quarter to quarter, and must be spent by the end of the year (no roll-over to the following year).

2. Implants: The dental allowance on all Anthem MAPD plans includes implants! Whether it’s the HMO or the DSNP plan, the dental allowance can be used towards implants, or any other billable item (other than cosmetic).

3. $300 vision allowance: With the Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO, your client will have $300 per year to spend on vision benefits

4. $50/month grocery benefit: The Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO is the only regular HMO that offers the option of a grocery benefit to enrollees who qualify*

5. PERS device for non-emergencies: The Dual Advantage DSNP plan offers a free PERS device which can be used for non-emergencies in addition to emergencies. With the push of a button your client will be connected to a live representative waiting to help with an unlimited range of assistance. Think of it as a concierge service, or a live human “Siri”. This is a gamechanger benefit, and a differentiator for you as an agent.

*Groceries and utilities benefits require the member to qualify with a chronic condition, per stricter CMS oversight

With all these great reasons to sell Anthem right here at your fingertips, it will be easy to wow your clients!

Wishing you continued success this AEP 😊
