Last week, Medical Mutual of Ohio announced that it would pay no commissions on plans written for folks coming to them from InHealth. They've since clarified this position:
"We would like to clarify that renewal commission will be paid on business that renews with Medical Mutual for a January 1, 2017, effective date, that was originally transitioned as the result of a delinquency proceeding."
Which is nice, of course, until one realizes that this does nothing to address the underlying substantive issue, which is that the carrier is still charging for those commissions but then not disbursing them, effectively defrauding their new-found clients through the end of this year.
Underwhelming, no?
To be fair: Other carriers, such as Anthem, are refusing to pay any commissions on plans written between Open Enrollments, period.
