The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) strongly objects to UnitedHealthcare’s decision to cut agent commissions on more than 100 Medicare Advantage plans across over 20 states. This action undermines the value of professional guidance at a time when seniors need it most.
“Licensed Medicare advisors are vital,” said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE. “They serve as year-round advocates who help clients compare plan options, navigate changing benefits, address denials, and adjust coverage to meet evolving needs. Stripping away their compensation is not only disruptive but deeply irresponsible. It jeopardizes seniors’ ability to make informed decisions in a system that is already complex and confusing.” ARTICLE
