The Californer/10170228

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Discounted Errors and Omissions insurance coverage is now being made available through the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance.

"The discounted coverage can be a huge benefit to the many insurance agents who are joining the business to sell Medicare insurance," states Jesse Slome, director of the Medicare advocacy organization.  "While E&O claims do not occur often with the sale of Medicare products, they can and some require this coverage."

The monthly premium for a new agent with less than $75,000 in annual commissions can be $39.40 notes Slome.  "The savings are beneficial during the first two years after which the policy can be maintained still at a low price."

The Association offers the E&O coverage to any insurance agent needing the protection.  "There are several advantages," Slome cites.  "There are five different levels to choose from.  An agent can buy and pay for only the level and amount of coverage they need and want."
