Compliance Connection: Complete an event verification form before sales events
Don’t forget to fill out an event verification form when you hold a sales meeting or event about our Individual Medicare plans. The form helps protect you and Aetna if CMS decides to audit your event. It’s easy to complete. Just download the form and print it out before your next event. Then, have the form signed by your event venue contact before your event starts. Lastly, keep the form on file. You can learn more on Producer World.
