Medicare PTC: Agent Website

Medicare and Permission to Contact (PTC) on Your Website

When it comes to Medicare marketing, obtaining Permission to Contact (PTC) is crucial. Not only does it keep you compliant with regulations, but it also builds trust with potential beneficiaries. Here’s how you can effectively and compliantly obtain PTC through your website.

Steps to Obtain PTC

  1. Clear and Simple Forms: Use straightforward forms on your website where beneficiaries can provide their contact information. Make sure the form clearly states that by submitting their information, they are giving permission to be contacted by a Medicare agent.

  2. Explicit Consent: Ensure that the consent is explicit. Avoid pre-ticked checkboxes. Instead, use unticked checkboxes that beneficiaries must actively select to give their consent.

  3. Transparent Disclosure: Clearly disclose what the beneficiaries are consenting to. For example, “By providing your contact information, you agree to be contacted by a licensed Medicare agent.”

  4. Document Everything: Keep a record of all permissions obtained. This documentation is essential for compliance and can protect you in case of any disputes.

Tips for Effective PTC

  1. Engaging Content: Create engaging content that encourages beneficiaries to want to learn more. Use informative articles, videos, and infographics that address their needs and concerns.

  2. Compelling Call-to-Action (CTA): Use compelling CTAs like “Get Your Free Medicare Guide” or “Speak to a Medicare Expert Today” to encourage beneficiaries to provide their contact information.

  3. Assure Privacy: Assure beneficiaries that their information will be kept confidential and used solely for Medicare-related purposes. This builds trust and encourages them to share their contact details.

  4. Follow-Up: Once you have obtained PTC, follow up promptly. A quick response shows professionalism and keeps the beneficiary engaged.

  5. Compliance Check: Regularly review your forms and processes to ensure they comply with the latest Medicare marketing guidelines. Staying updated helps you avoid any compliance issues.
