| Anthem Indiana Promotes GeoBlue in Open Enrollment Materials |
|
| Kudos to Anthem Indiana! This simple step of adding a paragraph to their open enrollment materials and a link to find more information about GeoBlue can make all the difference for customers who may travel abroad—and for your bottom line. |
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that for individual policies, Blue Plans get a 25% commission on direct sales and a 10% commission on sales through connected brokers. So, take a cue from Anthem Indiana and think about how you can leverage your communications, sponsored media and events to help promote the need for international health insurance and GeoBlue in your local market.
