Earn more with VBE – Now available with e-Kits
You
can now offer the value-based enrollment (VBE) option to your clients
after they enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan using an e-Kit through the
Ascend Virtual Sales Office app.
How
does it work? You send an e-kit to your client
via email through the Ascend app to enroll in a plan. After
your client enrolls, they'll land on the confirmation page
and see the VBE response options. If your client initiates a
VBE, you'll earn a service fee of up to $50. Download our flyer to learn more about e-Kits
and VBE.

Avoid
delays by checking your client's MBI number
Now,
through the Ascend app, you can verify that your client’s Medicare
Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) number is correct. This new feature
will help you submit your clients' enrollment applications more
efficiently, without delays. The Medicare number is a CMS-assigned
number that can be found on your client's Medicare card and it’s required
