Dental, Vision & Hearing A Plan with Choices for You and Your Clients!
Why Offer DVH Plans • According to LIMRA, Dental Insurance is the #1 product clients ask about. • DVH plans are Guarantee Issue – No Health Questions! • Medicare does NOT cover dental, vision or hearing expenses except for • VERY limited situations • Just 12 percent of Americans over 65 have dental insurance*. • DVH is just as important under 65 and it is over age 65. • Top producing agents are attaching DVH to 1/3 of their health insurance sales, • both over & under age 65. • Great way to make money during the Med Adv Enrollment Season while waiting for Med Adv commission to be paid months later. Same goes for ACA sales. • DVH Sales increase your overall client persistency - The more policies a • client has with you the less likely they’ll work with any one else. • *http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/35/12/2241.abstract

“Spouse in the House” • Med Sup agents are asking “is there a spouse in the house?” • It’s necessary to determine if they are eligible for a HHD with carriers that offer a HHD if they have a Roommate/Spouse under 65 • ACA plans do not cover adult dental, hearing aids or glasses/contact lenses • A DVH plan helps “fill the gaps” in an ACA plan just like with Med Sup/MA. • DVH benefits are the same over/under 65 • Great way to increase income and drop the cost per acquisition (CPA). • Odds of writing the under 65 spouse/roommate a Med Sup/MA Plan when they turn 65 is much better if you sell them a DVH Plan FOR AGENT USE ONLY
How to Cross Sell DVH • It’s up to you to “start the conversation” and help your client understand their exposure when it comes to DVH. • When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned? • “How many agents sold their first insurance presentation?” Talk about DVH with every client. Your presentation will get better with practice! • Few Med Adv plans still cover Dental, Vision or Hearing • Turning 65 is the perfect time to discuss DVH. Show how Medicare offers almost ZERO DVH benefits. • Don’t forget “The Spouse in the House” • Pivot to offering DVH if you have an uninsurable Med Sup client or an Med Adv client during the “Lock-in” period • Sell something
How to Cross Sell DVH Continued • If replacing a Med Sup with a lower cost Med Sup, combine the new Med Sup price with a DVH plan. It’s harder to cross sell another policy after you quote the premium savings before asking for the DVH sale. They’ve already spent the savings. Timing is key. • Contact your current Med Sup, Med Adv & ACA clients. They want to hear from you! Show them why spending a dollar a day for a DVH plan is a great use of their money.
Common DVH Objections & How to Overcome Them • I’ve never seen the value in a DVH plan. • Avg Social Security Check is $1,372 per month • My dentist doesn’t take insurance • Does he take cash?!? • I don’t have any teeth • Do you have dentures, wear glasses or have hearing aids? • I need coverage for Major Dental Work NOW! • Extractions and cleanings are covered immediately. Start your coverage today and receive 70% coverage on Majors in year 2 and 80% in year 3!
DVH Questions to Ask Prospective Clients • “Who do you have for Dental Insurance?” • “When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned?” • “Are you aware that Medicare offers ZERO coverage for routine Dental, Glasses, Contacts or Hearing Aids?” • The good news is $1,000 of DVH coverage costs about $1 per day! Ask one of these questions to EVERY person you talk to!
What’s In It for Me?!? • Average annual premium is $425 • Maximum 6 month advance • 40% 1st Year Commission in All States • 5% Renewal Comp (Years 2+) • $425 x 40% = $170 in 1st year commissions • 1 sale per week = $8,840 in new DVH commission on top of your Med Sup, Medicare Advantage or Individual Health commission from the same client!
