Senior Market Sales — an Omaha, Nebraska-based insurance distributor — is working with Seek Medicare to help agents sell Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D prescription plans at Walgreens drug stores.
The program will help agents get into about 350 Walgreens stores in Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia during the Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug plan annual enrollment period.
Eligible agents who want to participate will have to commit to spending at least 12 hours per week in the assigned store.
The signup deadline is Aug. 20.
