Event Questions

You will need to complete the following pre-requisites in order to qualify for events:

  • Attend an Events Training
  • Complete the Events Training Quiz
  • Complete the Events Compliance Quiz
  • Complete the Event Preference Form

Since this is a lead program there are some pre-qualifications to participate. The first step is attending Events Training, either live or via webinar. Once that is complete, you will be able to complete the last few pre-qualifications that are explained in the training.

To qualify for reimbursement for events, you’ll need to complete the pre-qualifications to participate in events. After that, any events you are plugged into or that you set up on your own will be reimbursed. Please keep in mind; you will need to provide an itemized receipt that abides by the CMS guidelines for acceptable purchases (i.e. no gift cards and $15 cap per attendee).

There is lead charge for leads collected at your Advantage Plus events! We may set up the event for you, but you are the one doing the legwork. That lead is yours since you put the time and effort into getting it!

Simply email events@advantageplusins.com and we will coordinate with you.

We have an Event Submission Form that can be found on your Agent Portal. All you need to do is complete the form in its entirety and send to the events team. You can send the form via email to events@advantageplusins.com or via fax 818-538-7555

Yes! In order for us to properly track the success of events we need the Event Recap Form with your feedback of the event itself. In addition to the Event Recap we need the Lead Fax Sheet and Receipt Fax Sheet when applicable. Remember, the receipt needs to be itemized in order to get the 100% reimbursement.

If it is in normal business hours (M-F 8:30am – 5:00pm PST), please contact events@advantageplusins.com. If it is after hours, please leave a voicemail on your agent support extension #3 and we will get back to you immediately.

Even though CMS guidelines say that the event must reported 7 days prior, each carrier partner has their own internal policies and procedures for filing events. In order to guarantee acceptance of events (if you are in “good standing” with the carrier you choose to report to) we ask that you submit it by the 15th of the month prior. So if you have an April event, the events team needs that information by March 15th.

Any event which sales activity is intended needs to be reported. Sales activity is any activity that can result in a sale. This includes but is not limited to collecting lead cards, having marketing material out such as tri-folds or service flyers, scheduling appointments, passing out your business card, etc. If you need more information or are unsure if your event needs to be reported please contact events@advantageplusins.com.
