agents and producers obtain a personalized producer’s
link, which automatically recognizes their business and
pays them full commissions.
Applicants electronically receive a printable ID card
and a proof of insurance letter, which is required by most
consulates to obtain a travel visa.
This program allows the agent to sell international
major medical insurance quickly without completing a
paper application. The program has easy to follow, step-by-step instructions so that even consumers with only
basic computer skills can participate.
The personalized producer link can be posted on the
producer’s website and kept handy to email to clients so
that they can use it to enroll for the coverage online.
