Include new disclaimer on sales calls and other materials effective October 1

 
 

Per the 2023 CMS Final Rule, a new third-party marketing organization (TPMO) disclaimer needs to be on all third-party CY2023 materials, effective for marketing beginning October 1, 2022.

 

The new TPMO disclaimer is: 

 

“We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.” 

 

This disclaimer must be: 

  • Verbally conveyed within the first minute of a sales call.
  • Electronically conveyed when communicating with a beneficiary through email, online chat, or other electronic means of communication.
  • Prominently displayed on TPMO websites.
  • Included in any marketing materials, including print materials and television advertisements, developed, used or distributed by the TPMO.
 
 

What you need to know

  • The disclaimer will be included on all 2023 AEP marketing materials you order or download from the Aetna Medicare Marketing Studio.

  • It is your responsibility to ensure the disclaimer is included on other print and electronic marketing materials you use, including multi-plan marketing materials created by your upline, as well as any marketing materials created by lead generation vendors you use.

  • The disclaimer will be played automatically  at the beginning of all calls you record through Think Agent using the CARE functionality (Call Appointment & Recorded Enrollment).

  • If you use a different call-recording tool, you’ll need to state the disclaimer on your own, within the first minute of the call.
