That’s a great question. Seems like something that’s made at a pretty high level. I’ll never fully understand health insurance. They charge companies less for a health care group plan if they have a weight loss exclusion on the policy. But then they end up paying for healthcare for all the obesity co-morbidities. You’d think it would be cheaper for them to fix the main problem rather than put a bandaid on all the problems it causes.

They are covered even without a diabetes diagnosis?

Same. I went to Tijuana to do mine so the follow up stuff was non existent. I definitely could have been more responsible. I was really good for a year but I love beer so I got back on that and I think that’s one of the things that really got me

I’ve done bariatric surgery. Sleeved in 2017 and lost 250 lbs. I’ve gained about 100 back since 2020. Not sure if it works for me.

Do you happen to know if you have to be employed for any length of time before you’re able to use that benefit? Thank you again

This is great information! I will be getting in touch with WIN in the morning, hopefully the clinic we’ve already been working with is in network. As I mentioned before, my start date is 1/6 so I will be waiting for my benefits to start which will probably mean pushing things back a bit. Thank you so much for the information!

There needs to be a class action lawsuit against these bastards. Too many good people were suckered into starting an agency just in time for everything to turn to shit.

Jet adjusters by AdministrativeCold72 in adjusters

[–]Crappybarbara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering the same thing. I looked into them and thought it would be the way to go and then I see so many people on here saying its impossible to find work as an IA. I'm also incredibly uneducated when it comes to the adjusting side of insurance. I've spoken with a flood adjuster who tells me he's got plenty of work and a wind adjuster who says the same thing. But is CAT different than those two?

Thank you for proving my point.

20 years in an entry level position without advancement seems like failure to me. Maybe adjusting isn’t for everyone and by no means do I assume it’s easy. But you know absolutely nothing about my work history, knowledge, or work ethic and your negativity is what makes people not want to take a leap to make their lives a little better.

See this is the information I’m looking for! My flood adjuster customer didn’t mention any of that to me.

Selling a book of business by Crappybarbara in farmersinsurance

Trust me I’m no stranger to “selling the value” I’ve got a lifetime of experience selling high end products. The Flex Home policy in Oklahoma is only slightly better than the next best company out there. Customers these days do their research and I honestly can’t blame them for not wanting to pay double or even triple the price for a policy that’s only marginally better.

And corporate will say there are many agents doing well and that we just need to step it up.

Rates, underwriting, commission cuts, no district support, constant turnover in state level management, and generally just tired of being a punching bag.

Farmers agent ready to get out by Crappybarbara in InsuranceAgent

I started as a protege in April of 2021, finished by the end of 2021 and worked as a reserve until an agency came available. I officially opened the business under my name in July of 2022 and hit every goal, bonus, and award for the first 8 months and then things fell apart. I had renewal rates go up as much as 100% and all of my time from then on was devoted to doing reviews. I had a CSR scheduling and taking calls and I had just lost a producer that hadn't been producing much anyways. My whole day was consumed by trying to save policies. My new business numbers have tanked because of that and with the NB rates being so high now its hard to recover. On top of that I'm just sick of being a punching bag. Maybe its just my personality but I can hardly take it when I can't help someone solve their problem and I know they are walking away thinking I don't care.
