Every now and then, agents run into clients that have a desire to change the way they pay their monthly Medicare Advantage or Part D Prescription Drug Plan premium. The typical way to have someone take care of this is to call Humana's customer service department. However, in this age of websites and do-it-yourself seniors, the mission can be accomplished quite easily online. Here's a quick rundown of what your more computer and internet savvy clients can do:

One of the more common questions agents get asked from their Medicare clients is "what is the Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty?" It is fairly easy to explain that if a Medicare member spends more than 63 consecutive days without having Part D or creditable drug coverage, they will be required to pay a late enrollment penalty should they choose to enroll in a Part D plan in the future. The typical follow-up question is "will I have a late enrollment penalty?" This is also usually pretty easy to answer, assuming the agent asks the proper questions of the client and the client responds with accurate answers about prior coverage.
