Attn: ND Agents
North Dakota law now requires that all insurers of individual hospital insurance offer
major medical coverage. Therefore, UA must discontinue sales of plans SHXC,
HSXC, MMXC, MSXC, SMXC, SSXC,
HIXC, and HMXC-B in North Dakota effective immediately.
The Medicare Supplement, Long Term Care, Cancer and accident policies are NOT affected by
this.

The Lifestyle Annuity new money interest rate for December and January
is 4.50%. Rates will continue to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
Attn:
Wisconsin Agents
Agents who were licensed to sell in Wisconsin
prior to January 1, 1997, who have not completed the required 24 hours of continuing
education must do so by February 15, 1999, according to the Wisconsin State Department.
Failure to complete the courses by this time will result in license suspension.
Additionally, agents who fail to complete their continuing education requirements by April
16, 1999, will have their license revoked. The Department will notify insurers regarding
agent license suspensions.
Bank Draft
Reminder
While United American prefers the bank draft and the effective date on policies be the
same, we understand some insureds wish to have drafts coincide with their Social Security
checks. When submitting such requests it is important to remember:
- Special requests will not be accepted for policies with
effective
dates between the first and the 15th of the month.
- UA will allow a draft date between the first and the 10th if
the effective date of the policy is between the 16th and the end of the month.
To make submission of these requests easier, we have created Form BDSR, which you
should staple to the application along with the voided check. These forms are available to
order from Supply. |
Attn: All Agents
Several United American policyholders have been incorrectly told that our
company was dropping senior healthcare coverage. Make sure your customers know it is United
Healthcare that is leaving the Medicare market and NOT United
American.
We need you to reinforce this message. Call or visit your clients and make sure they know
UA remains committed to seniors.
