1.
What questions should you ask yourself when searching for a Sales Call?
Correct Answer(s)
C. Did the BA present plans?
D. Did the BA go through the quoting screens?
E. Did the BA add a plan to the cart?
H. Did the BA do a Needs Analysis?
Explanation
The correct answer includes asking if the BA presented plans, went through the quoting screens, added a plan to the cart, and did a Needs Analysis. These questions are important in a sales call as they involve crucial steps in the sales process. Presenting plans allows the BA to showcase available options to the customer, going through the quoting screens ensures accurate pricing information, adding a plan to the cart indicates a potential sale, and conducting a Needs Analysis helps the BA understand the customer's specific requirements and tailor the sales pitch accordingly.
2.
What must the BA do prior to quoting plans?
Correct Answer
B. Read the Medical Information Release statement
Explanation
The BA must read the Medical Information Release statement prior to quoting plans. This is important because the statement contains important information regarding the release of medical information, which is necessary for the BA to understand and comply with before providing quotes for plans. By reading the statement, the BA ensures that they are following the proper procedures and protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals involved.
3.
The customer called and discussed plan options with the BA on Monday. The customer needed more time to decide on a selection and called back on Friday and spoke with the same BA. Would the BA need to read the MIR prior to quoting even if it was read on the initial call?
Correct Answer
A. Yes
Explanation
The MIR must be read on every call prior to quoting and discussing plans, even if it was read on a previous call.
4.
The BA read the Medical Information Release after giving two Medigap premiums but did not discuss any plan benefits. Would this be Non-Compliant?
Correct Answer
A. Yes
Explanation
The BA (Business Associate) read the Medical Information Release, which indicates that they have access to sensitive medical information. However, instead of discussing any plan benefits, they only focused on collecting two Medigap premiums. This suggests that they did not fulfill their obligation to provide information about the plan benefits to the individual. Therefore, their actions can be considered non-compliant.
5.
Adjusting the words in the MIR is acceptable as long as it does not change the meaning.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
You must see a supervisor for approval.
6.
Which version of the MIR would not cause the call to be Non-Compliant?
The statement reads:
'As we proceed, you are not required to answer any health or prescription-related questions. If you do, your answers will not affect your eligibility to enroll in a Medicare plan. Okay?'
Correct Answer
D. As we move forward, you do not have to answer any health or prescription questions. If you do, your answers will not affect your eligibility to enroll in a Medicare plan. Okay?
7.
The BA did not say the plan names before transferring to the ADP. How would you score 4.1?
Correct Answer
B. Minor
Explanation
The BA must read the plan names prior to transferring to the ADP.
8.
If an LBS is brought on the line by an ADP and the LBS puts a new plan in the cart, does the LBS have to read the intent to enroll scripting?
Correct Answer
A. Yes
Explanation
The LBS is brought on the line by an ADP, which suggests that the LBS is responsible for handling the customer's request. If the LBS puts a new plan in the cart, it indicates that they are taking action based on the customer's intent to enroll. Therefore, it is logical to assume that the LBS needs to read the intent to enroll scripting in order to properly understand and fulfill the customer's request.
9.
If the BA does the Sales Portion and also completes the enrollment (does not transfer to an ADP), do they have to read the BA closing script (4.1 - 4.4)?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
The BA does not need to read the closing script if the BA completes the enrollment on the same call.
10.
Which statement would NOT be marked as a minor for 4.3 (Explain the Transfer Process):
This portion of the script reads:
You will be connected to an Enrollment Team Representative who will help you fill out your application(s). There will be a brief hold before they pick up so DO NOT HANG UP or your application(s) will not be processed. If for any reason you get disconnected, please call us right back, follow the system prompts, and you will be connected to an Enrollment Team Representative.
Correct Answer
B. I am going to transfer you to the Enrollment Team Representative. There will be a brief hold before they pick up the pHone. Do not hang up or your application will not be processed. If you do get disconnected, call back and you will be routed to the correct team.
Explanation
The correct answer is "I am going to transfer you to the Enrollment Team Representative. There will be a brief hold before they pick up the phone. Do not hang up or your application will not be processed. If you do get disconnected, call back and you will be routed to the correct team." This statement provides clear instructions about the transfer process and emphasizes the importance of not hanging up or getting disconnected in order to ensure the application is processed correctly. It also offers a solution if the caller does get disconnected, which is to call back and be routed to the correct team. The other statements do not provide the same level of clarity and emphasis on not hanging up or getting disconnected.
11.
The customer told the BA they were very helpful and answered all of their questions. Would the BA still need to ask if the customer had additional questions prior to transferring to an ADP?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
If the customer told the BA that they were very helpful and answered all of their questions, it implies that the BA has already addressed all the customer's concerns and provided satisfactory assistance. Therefore, there would be no need for the BA to ask if the customer has additional questions before transferring to an ADP.
12.
If the BA transfers the call and provides the Customer with the phone number they are not required to provide the TTY number because the ADP will provide the TTY number and hours of operation.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
When the BA transfers the call and provides the customer with the phone number, it means that the customer can directly contact the desired department or individual without the need for further assistance. In this case, since the ADP (Assistive Device Program) will provide the TTY number and hours of operation, the BA is not required to provide it. This suggests that the statement is true.
