Press Release: IAS Readies Lifeboat for Medicare Supplement Companies Struggling to Get 2010 Plans Approved
Insurance Administrative Solutions has optimized the services it offers in order to help more MedSupp carriers meet fast-approaching filing deadlines for the new 2010 plans.
LARGO, FL, Oct. 6 2009 /InsuranceNews.net/ -- Effective June 1, 2010, two new Medicare Supplement (MedSupp) plans, M and N, will go into effect, with Plans E, H, I, and high-deductible J no longer being offered.

However, many carriers could find themselves at a competitive disadvantage as they attempt to navigate the multi-faceted patchwork of state regulations to get their products filed in a compliant and timely manner.
