As Dawn M. said:
“Every single person I presented it [hospital indemnity] to this year… took it.”
When the market changes, opportunity opens. And right now, cross‑selling isn't optional... it’s essential.
So far this year, agents have watched:
• Hospital copays climb
• MOOPs skyrocket
• Skilled nursing coverage tighten
Clients feel it too — and they bring those concerns to the table.
And in 2026, with increasing health plan copays and unpredictable benefits, this is the easiest conversation you’ll have.

“I don’t have time” is the #1 objection agents have to cross‑selling.
But according to GTL’s Demetri Simos, adding a hospital indemnity plan during an MA appointment takes:
👉 15 minutes
👉 Adds year‑round commissions
👉 Covers the client’s biggest vulnerabilities
#CrossSelling #ASGPodcast
MOOPs rising.
Copays rising.
Client savings NOT rising.
Hospital indemnity matters.
Cancer plans matter.
✋ Don't skip the conversation.
