Marketing Assistance Program
Get Rewarded for Production
MAP rewards you for your production with flexible marketing dollars you can use for a variety of expenses.
With as few as 5 Medicare Supplement or Advantage apps in a month, you can start earning money that will accumulate. Use it for lead mailers, seminars, social media, technology costs, and more.
- Qualifying apps include Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans.
- Medicare Supplement & Medicare Advantage sales count as one app.
- Ancillary products, excluding life, final expense, and annuities, will count as ½ an app, earning a maximum of 2 credits per month.
- January-September production is calculated on a calendar month-to-month basis. (Lock in Production)
- October-December production is calculated together as post-year-end results (AEP production)
