That's right. I'm from Brinkley, Arkansas.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I love my Arkansas.

Speaker 4 (13:16):

Speaker 3 (13:16):

Speaker 7 (13:18):

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah? Here you you all right?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
So you hitting them try work in Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Work in Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
So with the Benefits Solutions Group, Lourie, you all help
people with their benefits. And Laurie always like to say
that red, white, and Blue call.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
And what else, Belle, you know it. Don't call the
TV call Lourie.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
I do too, talk to him Laurie unless you see
Laurie on the TV because because because because Laurie is
on on the TV as well, so Laurie is on
the TV as well. So if you see Laurie, then
you call well Bell.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
You know, I have to say this.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
We have a lot of Monday morning quarterbacks when the
annual enrollment period ensues. Don't allow people to walk up
to your doors out of nowhere. I don't care who
they look like, uh, you know, trust the folks that's
been here embedded and engaged in the community year round.

(14:23):
We've been here on this show now, I know more
than four years. And you know, beb would kill me
if I did something wrong to one of our babies.
And yeah, and you know, my seniors are my mom
and dad. So we are going to absolutely take the
time necessary, asks the right questions, and we are going
to get you in the right place. I've had a

(14:46):
lot of seniors, bev who you know lately they're sending
a lot of scam and spam emails and and mail
to their homes and so I know that at this
time seniors are getting a lot of calls. But I
want you to do me a favor. You tell them
you already have an agent and it's with the Benefit
Solutions Group. Now you have to put the word the

(15:09):
in front of it, because there is a company called
Benefit Solutions Group.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
We are the Benefit Solutions Group.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Yeah, because every year, I know they're excited when AAP
comes because they get the remnants of all of my
hard work, all of our advertising, all of our relationships.
So make sure you're talking to the Benefit Solutions Group.
The folks down there off of Colony Park Drive, off
of American Way, don't go on Poplar Avenue. I know

(15:38):
a lot of people are walking in on Poplar, but
we are located on Colony Park Drive twenty seven to fifty.
So see, I'm looking forward to to us serving our
community and seeing you soon.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Because Laurie, they need to get ready if they are not,
because coming up, well what the AEP will be coming around.
And then a lot of people are like, no, I
don't know what to do. I didn't know what to do.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yes, yes, we've had a lot of people.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
You know, I met a few people the other day
who said, hey, we're meeting some guy down from Atlanta
in the libraries. That's not safe. Having a local agent
is priceless.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
So being able to just you know, pick up the phone,
go to the benefits of Lucious Group and call us
is priceless. I know a lot of people say, well,
I've tried to call I didn't get through. Listen, the
people that are calling you back are not going to
be from the four or five to three number. I
want to make that clear so that when we go
into this season. But the other thing that we started

(16:41):
was really kind of making calls trying to really get
our customers on Tuesdays and maybe we'll add Thursdays so
that you don't have to pick that phone up every
single day all day long.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
So we're having.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Tuesday all day call days and you know, maybe some
Monday storms. But listen, make sure it's from someone from
the Benefit Solutions Group, because man if I don't even
you know, I don't even trust the landscape out here.
You know, we have a lot of there's a lot
of new agents coming on board. They sell one product
and you know they're the end.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
All be all. No, it shouldn't be that.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
You should be able to have a broker that sits
in front of you, a broker that you can zoom
with talk to on the phone, that has the knowledge
of multiple companies.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
And we don't write for all of them, and that's
by design. We write for the ones.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
That we think is going to be good for our community.
Notice I said our community. So when you see folks
that's not necessarily a part of our community or engaged
in our community, you know, don't go for because this
person may advertise on TV every single day and they're
you know, of an older generation or something.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Don't do that. Go with people that you have seen,
have heard has been engaged.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
I have to stress that bed because okay, you know,
then they'll come and tell me, well, this person messed
me up and can you help me get out of it?

Speaker 4 (18:07):
And I know, Lauria, you see a lot of that.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Oh my god, your CMS is really kind of cracking
down on the special election period en roman periods of
the times that you can enroll. You know, in times
past we could sign up a person almost any other day, but.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Now you know they're kind of cracking down on some
of that.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
There has to be a chronic, you know, a critical
reason for you to be able to enroll. Now, that's
not to say that we can't help you, because we
can help every single customer that comes to us. We
can give you at least, we can educate you.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah, at least. And here's the thing. If you are
in the right plan, you're going to stay there.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
You don't have to change.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
You do not have to change if you're in the
right plan. Now what does that mean. It means if
we check your doctors, they're still a network. Because doctors
go in and out of network all the time. They
do you know if we check the benefits and those
are things that you actually use. A lot of people

(19:14):
they are in plans that they don't even use most
of the benefits that are enlisted. As a matter of fact,
they don't even know about the benefits that they have.
So listen right now, do me a favor. Write this
number down. I'm gonna go slow, and I'm going to
say it several times because I want you to get

(19:36):
an appointment today. And we had a gentleman that called
last you know, the time by was out here. They say,
you know it's gloomy New Well, no, no, no, things
are happening in the landscape of medicare. As a matter
of fact, all over the country, there are critical things happening,
not just to medicare, but to every framework.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's being compromised challenged.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
So you wanna be ahead of the curve. See, we
we react most times to things. We react. We're not proactive.
And so my reason for being here all year long
is so that I can get you prepared for this moment.
October the first we can start talking about new benefits.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Okay, October the first, so.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
Bell guess what they're gonna hear me again on Thursday.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Oh no, no, because that that is will be in October.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
It's on Thursday, Ben, We'll be back October.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
When October said.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Wow, we will be back to talk about the new
bit of what you know.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
You just think about. October is right around the tier.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
It's here, Bell, So you can when that day comes,
you'll be able to tell our listeners yes, yes, yes,
what's new and what's not new, and what they can't
use and all that.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yes, be, it's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
So I'm good and from May saw okay, okay.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
So one of the things that I'm certain of now
is some of the plans, whether it's some of your
favorites too. I may have left the market.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
So explain when you say that. You say that a
lot lord.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Somebody may not know what you mean when you say
leave the markets. Your plan may have left.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
That's good, Bell.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
So when I say leave the market, I mean it
doesn't exist anymore. So so you know you may have
I'm gonna just use a Delta blue yeah, twenty three
ten plan. Okay, that plan doesn't exist. This is a
hypothetical because I don't want to call out any particular
carrier exactly. You may have a Delta Blue twenty three
ten that doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
You're still carrying the card.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
They have actually put another plan in its place, or
it just doesn't exist. But if they put another plan
in its place and we're not able to walk you over,
meaning you would never lose your benefits, you're good. But
if they put another plan in place and CEMS says no,
you can't walk the client over a meeting, you're going

(22:08):
to have to re enroll, oh my goodness, that client.
So this is for those singers that will say, I'm
fine with what I have, but how do you know
that right? You don't If you're not really really I'm
just gonna say it, an insurance agent, then it's gonna
be pretty tough for you to determine whether or not

(22:28):
that plan is still on the market. One resource is
the Medicar and You handbook. But when you look in there,
are you really able to decipher the information that you see?
Again that leads you back down the road to the
Benefit Solutions Group. If you would just trust me to
have a conversation with you to tell you miss and

(22:51):
Miss Sharon, Miss Anita, if you can say to me,
I'm fine with what I have. When we finish the conversation,
you're gonna be good. But we just want to make
sure bad your plan is still in existence, okay, that
you can still use it for the upcoming year, because
they've already started sending out something called an anoch that

(23:14):
is an annual notice of change.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
But when you read the anoch, the layman's.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Person, the regular everyday person that's tough to understand. Have
an agent, have one of the benefits Solutions Group's agent.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Just come and explain your anarch. You don't have to.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
Call and say I need you to check my plan
or I need you to change my plan. Come and
help me understand the information that I have received in
the mail. Or if you're not comfortable with us coming
to your home coming too the office at twenty seven
fifty Colony Park Drive. If that's not good, we can zoom,
we can call you, whatever the case is. I'm just

(23:55):
asking you, ma'am and sir to make a call. Please,
Mama and daddy make the call, Have your daughter make it,
have your son make it. Have your neighbor who assists you,
have them make the call. Why because you need to
understand what is happening to you and your health care

(24:16):
because beb, we both know when you get sick, it's
hard to stand up there and fomble with cards and
try to find your card and see if your doctor
is in network when you get sick. I've had a
lot of clients to come to me and say, you know,
I got sick and I went to the doctor's office
and I found out he wasn't even in my network anymore.

(24:38):
As a matter of fact, I mean to give your
prime example my mother who traveled down to the doctor's
office and for City, Arkansas, and she never goes to
the doctor. So the one time she went, I know
it had to be pretty serious. She had been seeing
this doctor for over fifty years. Do you understand my

(25:02):
passion for this business. He did not see her because
the company, the person, the agent that wrote her on
the plan. This is before I got started. They wrote
her out of network. Wow, meaning they wrote her out
of the doctor that she had been seeing for over

(25:23):
fifty years. Now, if you don't think I'm on this
road to help all of our singers, now, your mom
and dad is my mom and dad now, because I'm
going to make sure we don't have that agent just
show up at these homes anymore. I'm gonna make sure
that this TV personnel that gets on TV with these

(25:46):
good minutes every week every day because he's spending a
bunch of money, that you don't call him because he's
spending a bunch of money. And that's who you see.
Laurie and the team. We would be on three good
minutes every Monday, every Monday. Man, we're going to be
on that TV on wrg's caug Anthony's three good minutes

(26:09):
every Monday, starting the first week in October.

Speaker 4 (26:13):

calling that TV, you are calling me Lorie.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Be if you have the patience of Joe.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, Lord Lord.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
And when we talking about the because I want to
go back to something you said and people need to listen.
If Laurie said, if you have the red, white and
blue car, and you'll be back this week because October
she can talk to it's going to be crucial Laurie, because.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Some some people may have changed, you don't. It's just
like this, Lord.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
I remember when I went to my doctor for my
checkup this year, and when I got over there, and
then the sisters ms bell we don't take this insurance anymore.
I'm thinking, like, what we're.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Not in and so I didn't know that, and then
my insurance come. I don't know. They never said you
can't use your doctor.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
You're gonna have to pay the full price or and
see that's what's gonna happen, isn't it Lord, Or it's happening, Ben.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
It is happening.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
Okay, that is the thing that we are trying to prevent.
If you would just pick up the phone and just
make a call, it's one call again, the four five
to three number is not what's going to be calling
you back. When we get the calls in, we assign
them to agents. So what you bear with us, but

(36:01):
make the call. It would be the best thing you've
ever done with this upcoming season.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
BEV.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
Doctors they make choices and whether or not they're going
to remain and planned. That's not something that's necessarily going
to come in. That is not going to come in
your anoch. And if the doctor's office doesn't send you
a notice out saying that they're changing plans, and that's
based on the doctor's office, you won't know and if

(36:30):
you had been in my shoes, very very sick, and
standing at that front counter to be checked in, and
I've switched purses, didn't have my insurance card with me.
And I'm telling you it was a challenge because it
actually delayed care because they had to identify what insurance

(36:50):
I had, They had to be able to build for
the visit. So all of those things happening at a
time that you're not well, we don't want it to happen,
especially to our seniors. Bell it happened to you, Yeah,
apter to my mother, and for you to be ill,

(37:12):
go to a doctor's office and.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Then they say they don't take that.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Oh god, oh my goodness, Lord, that and that's why, Okay,
because I like my doctor.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
I like it. It's so Lord, I had to go
in my pocket.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah, yes, I had to.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Go in my pocket.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Now think about that for a senior who's making dollars
a month.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
Yeah, or who may be even just living off social Security.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah. Yeah, it's challenging. So we're trying to prevent it.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Pick up the phone now and dial nine on one
four five three six three four six. I guarantee you
they're gonna be able to help you. And if we
can't talk about the new benefits, okay before October the first,
that's right. But right now, what we can do is
tell you if your playing is still on the market,
you know, we can give you a quick education about,

(38:04):
you know, the ABC's of Medicare. And I do want
to hit that every single time I come back, because
there's a new person aging into Medicare. And when I
say aging in, that's right, there are turning sixty five.
Medicare is not just for individuals who turn sixty five.
It's a person who's had a disability for twenty four months. Okay,

(38:26):
you know it is an individu I didn't know that,
that's right. It is an individual with renal failure meaning
kidney failure. It is an individual with Lugarrick's disease.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
So you there may be lots of reasons that you
can qualify to be a Medicare card holder. So we
just need to educate our seniors on what it means,
especially our new ones. See, if you get an education
on the front end, you won't be harmed on the
back end of this.

Speaker 10 (38:57):
I like that.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
And so if we can talk about the ABC's, you know,
every time I come, I'm gonna talk about the ABC's
yeah uh. And it's not gloom and doom. What it is,
it's prevention and it's prevented the measures to prepare you
for what to come. If you're not in position uh
this this year, it's going to have it's gonna create

(39:19):
some some turbulence for you. So I need for you
to pick up the phone, find out what is happening,
what the changes are going to be. Now on Thursday, Bell, Okay,
we'll be here for two hours.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yes, we will be here.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
So have your questions, y'all.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
Get them together now, Yes, thinking thinking about what you're
going to.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Ask Lorie. That's right, Get your questions now.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Get I'm ready. If you're in Chicago, Illinois, if you, oh,
I gotta. I got news for my Illinois favorites. Listen.

Speaker 6 (39:57):
There's some new, some good stuff getting ready to come
your way. I need to hear from you from my Washington,
DC followers, from my California followers. We got people be
of all over the world that is listening in to this.
iHeart app So listen. Tell your friends, get loud. We
need to have a good news AP party October. It's

(40:21):
the second that we will be here. I want you
to get as many people together. You know, I'm challenging
us to get a million seniors to listen to this broadcast.
October the second, Listen to the Bell Johnson Show, grab
the iHeart app, and let's get our education on BEV.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
All right, go back to our phone lines to talk
with you. Thank you for waiting.

Speaker 10 (40:46):
Hi caller, Hey, good morning the morning, Bell.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Good morning, Beverly.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
How are you.

Speaker 8 (40:54):
I'm doing well.

Speaker 10 (40:55):
Did you get my email?

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yes, ma'am. I responded to it, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 10 (41:00):
I hadn't checked.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
All right, I am so sorry.

Speaker 10 (41:02):
So anyway, the reason why, Hey Laura, how are you? Hey?

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I am well, Thanks you for calling.

Speaker 10 (41:10):
You're welcome. I was listening to little Daddy and this
is not the first time he's called in and talked
about not getting his red, white and blue car. My
question is, don't you automatically get that car when you
turn sixty five? Don't they automatically send that to you,

(41:32):
like a month before you turn sixty five.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
Oh well, I'm so glad you brought that up, because
that is a myth. You do not automatically get parts
A and B. So A you receive after working ten
years or forty quarters.

Speaker 11 (41:50):
So that's so you have to have.

Speaker 10 (41:53):
So it's based on how much time you have worked
before you even get that.

Speaker 8 (41:57):
Part A.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
Yes, yes, they don't automatic send that card out anymore.
So my recommendation would be to schedule an appointment with
the Social Security Administration and they can tell you how
many quarters you have on the books.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Those are the only people that can do it. You
can't guess it yourself.

Speaker 6 (42:17):
You can also go to SSA which is Social Security
Administration dot gov and set up an account and you
can go and look at your account yourself. But the
best thing to do is go, oh no, you can't
go there. You have to set up an appointment. So
call the Social Security Administration and allow them to walk

(42:38):
you through what your quarters look like because you have
to have forty of them and you can follow. I've
met people who fail one week short of forty quarters.

Speaker 8 (42:49):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (42:50):
Okay. So if a person does not have the number
quarters that they need in order to qualify for regular medicare,
then would their next step be to apply for like
ten care so they will have some type of medical coverage.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
Well, here's the other caveat two Part a you can
pay for it. You can pay for it if you
want it. And here's the other thing. Remember now, I
also talked about those other people that qualify for the
kidney failure, the lugarricks, the disability disability for two years.
So that's another reason why you would qualify for Medicare.

(43:29):
So it's not necessarily quarters. Every every single option is
not based on quarters. But for individuals who you know
are healthy and doesn't fall into one of those categories, yes, ma'am,
they have to have the forty quarters. Now, when you
mentioned applying for ten care, ten care is absolutely a

(43:51):
financial piece. It is based on your income, and so
you have to qualify for ten care. You don't get
to automatically get on ten care because you are a senior.
So though, I'm so glad you're asking these questions because people,
you know, they call Social Security, they get frustrated about it.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
And you know we say this all the time on
the bench.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
So I just want people to, I like you call
and ask the right questions so that you don't get
so frustrated about it.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
So you definitely need to now watch this one. If you.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
Qualify for ten care full Medicaid. So ten Care is
synonymous with Medicaid, and so if you qualify for something
called f B D E that's full Medicare Beneficiary dual.
So if you qualify for a designation called fb D,

(44:50):
you can get the Part A premium that you would
have to pay paid and Medicaid would underwrite it. But
see that's the thing that we have the conversation face
to face with. So it gets kind of convoluted, you know,
with a radio broadcast, but if you call us, we
could help get you to there. So if you are
under a certain income limit and you qualify for full Medicaid,

(45:16):
it will turn around and pay for that Part A
premium that you did not initially qualify for. Now, let
me tell you about Part B, the way that you
qualify for Part B, because you will see some people
that have A only.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
The A only people that have a Medicare.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
Card are the ones who decided they did not want
to pay for Part B, and then you'll meet people
who have B only. The B only people are the
folks that did not qualify for A, but they decided
that they were going to pay for Part B, which
is that one eighty five premium per month. Now let
me tell you why they would do that, because with

(45:56):
Part B, it's the thing that covers eighty percent of
your health care. Yes, so if you don't, if you
don't qualify for Part A, you can definitely get in
there and pay the premium for Part B. That's why
they will allow you to accept or deny decline Part B.

(46:16):
But then if you don't pick Part B, if you
don't select it, you get penalized and you get a
lifetime penalty.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
So these are the things that are.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
So critical about medicare, which is why we have to
talk about it every single month. We talk about the
ABC's of Medicare. So if you don't do anything else,
pick up that phone, call our office and let us
go through ABCD with you so that you'll have a
better understanding of where you are.

Speaker 10 (46:45):
Yeah, you know, in trying to help little Baddy out,
because I just noticed that he always calls in and
talks about him not tapping his bread, white blue coll
he's not getting what he needs to get. So in essence,
and you have told him that many times, many times,
you need to come down and talk to you all menace,

(47:09):
not for the telephone, because you can understand things better
sometime if you are face to face with somebody's.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Right, that's right ahead, go ahead. My mother told me,
if you really want to handle real business, you'll go
face to face.

Speaker 8 (47:24):
Yeah yeah, so look at it.

Speaker 10 (47:26):
Go get you some help so you can get what
you supposed to have. You know, I'm just I'm just concerned.
I'm not talking about I'm not criticized getting that concern.
Come to help you have some all right.

Speaker 8 (47:41):
That's all I mean.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
By w D I a high caller. Oh yes, it's
your time. Thank you for waiting, Thank you for waiting.

Speaker 11 (47:56):
Oh you boy, than welcome. I was I was being patient.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
That's are you supposed to be? Be patient?

Speaker 11 (48:03):
I got a little bit of a testimone. I feel
like I need to share with some of the people
that might encourage them. Hey, leris wanted me. How y'all doing?

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Hey, well, well how are you?

Speaker 11 (48:15):
I'm doing pretty goods for.

Speaker 8 (48:18):
You?

Speaker 11 (48:18):
Weldom I actually uh reached out to you last year
to sign up because because of my disability, I ended
up happened to be on Medicaid.

Speaker 10 (48:28):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (48:28):
And I'm just fifty two cronic migraines. And like you said,
but the process of confusing is all get out. Uh.
And so when I reached atter you all, actually one
of your representatives that I spoke with, accommodated with you
all the way to accommodate me be to my chronic migraines.
Sometime I can't drive. Sometimes I feel like I have

(48:50):
ready go just different stuff going on. But I lived
in Coldwater, Mississippi. One the representative was able to make
an appointment with me for a Sunday with me at
my home and was able to break down and explain
to me and time. It took about eighty forty five

(49:11):
minutes literally after want to pay was list in an
hour and get me signed up into a plan. And
I let her know like, uh, this is who I
want as my continue to be my primary care physician.
She was able to go in and look and see, okay,
he he would be in there where he would come,
he would be covered. Also informed me and get me

(49:32):
uh uh signed up to in a form where you
can receive the uh what it called the phones where
you can pay for your prescriptions over the can drugs
wasn't yeah, you know without having to pay out of pocket.
They uploaded I think like sixty dollars on my financial

(49:53):
card or whatever. I can't think the name of it
right now. He wanted me to be able to pay
for over counter medicine or any aside my need. So,
like you said, around they started sending out information about
news sign up you know was not signed up here.
So I do plan on reaching out to my representative
again to see what change has taken place. What I

(50:14):
need to do is make sure my doctor, you know,
stay in network, uh, because it's challenging when you do
switch doctors, you have to inform them about what's been
going on with your condition, try to get medical record
switched over all that, you know, and it's a headache.
It's some even bigger headache for like that. So I'm
glad you're that you started to practice. I'm glad I

(50:35):
was reached out to you all. Glad you are were
able to come out and take care of me.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Who is your favorite agency?

Speaker 11 (50:46):
Need benefits Solutions?

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Yes, I love it.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
They gave me chills because last time I was on
the radio, they ate me a lot. I appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (50:57):
I was.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
I was.

Speaker 11 (50:58):
I was arranged for the representation to come out. Like
I said, I lived in Colarosissippi and not just off
fifty five. I lived out in the rural part they said,
in the sixth or whatever. And they came out, like
I said, one Sunday afternoon after I got in new
Church and be able to we sit down and they
brought their laptop and took the time and explained to me,
like you said, a B C D. You know what,

(51:18):
not what I qualify for what I did. And like
I said, if I wanted to pay some bish, that's right,
And it was on their way and I hadn't left hard,
you know, but that was that was great.

Speaker 8 (51:28):
That was great.

Speaker 11 (51:29):
Yeah, it really was. It really has being because uh
even with that, uh, we also, like you said, we
got to take expensive bility ourselves. That when she got
me canned up and I was going to my termary
care doctor, Uh, I did call uh the insurance that
you know, the provider and see which specialists were in
network so I can determine and to see what was

(51:51):
the neurologies that I was currently seeing where they in network?

Speaker 5 (51:55):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (51:55):
What did I need to do without head to go
still a specialist mergers on care whatever, you know, they
seen the paggage. But I also you can reach out
to call them. You all as well as whoever uh
your uh help. You know you're signing them sign us
up with and they'll be able to tell you also
who was in there work, who you can get go
see that may not cast you or what it will

(52:15):
cost you.

Speaker 8 (52:16):
You know.

Speaker 11 (52:17):
So you are well bleased to me, and I really
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Wow, thank you so much. I got you.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Thank you calling, Thank you so much for calling in,
and thank you for being patient you too.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
Bye bye. I love that, Laurie, And tell I see
I love that. Listeners.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Look this man in Mississippi and he said, Laurie's they
came on a Sunday, So you would do that, Laurie.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
Oh my God.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Absolutely listen. When you love what you do. And I'm
telling you my spirituality is no, I don't hide it.

Speaker 8 (52:48):
You know.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
I know that God guides us and you know he
shows us favor. And when you love what you do,
you love the people that you serve. You know, there
we have no other choice. We're compelled to go and help.

Speaker 5 (53:01):
Now.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
We're in twenty eight states, so we will go.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
There are no barriers, you know, no distance that we
won't travel to help our clients. If you call me
from Illinois, you say, Laurie, I need you to come
and fear my friends are here, and I want you
to explain that to us. Guess what, I'm going to
get on a plane and I'm coming to you because
I don't trust my seniors with anybody else anymore. I've

(53:25):
seen it, I've heard it. I know what they say
about our seniors, and you know how they rush them along.
I've had seniors to call in and say, Lurie, please
come to our small town because when they get us
in their offices, they rush us through the process. We
can barely read and we just really need someone to
sit down and listen to what our concerns are. And

(53:47):
I'm willing to do it. When I tell you this,
this is God's work. I say it all the time,
you know, and it's not a joke for me. I'm
really living the legacy of my mother, Lady Swan again.
I know that she would be happy. But better than that,
I know that God is proud for this group of
agents to get out into our community and do what.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
We're supposed to do for our clients. So I just
appreciate you for calling in.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
God bless your man, and we are going to continue

fifty Colony Park that's off of American Way Drive, twenty

up the phone and make the call yourself. Don't be
the prey that the predators are calling you and driving
you nuts with all the phone calls.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Bet, I want to say this.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Really quickly, and I know we got to go, but
I got one more phone call.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
I was in a training.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Uh in Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, and by
the way, it was an amazing training, but one of
the things that a lot of the people that were
there in the training participating in training, I said, you know,
what is their strategy for reaching our seniors? And you
know what they said, what call them nine times? And

(55:27):
it hurt my feelings? Wow, he said, go down your
list and you call them three times, back to back
to back, and then you go back and you call
them again, back to back. Why are you doing our
singers like that, and so it's their strategy. Yeah, just
to call call call, call, call, But because they're able
to reach you at the time, it doesn't make them

(55:49):
the person that you need to be connected to. Get
connected to the Benefit Solutions Group, your local agents everywhere.
