Plans approved in AZ, KY, MT, NE, PA and RI; approval pending in 9 states.

OMAHA, NEB. (PRWEB) September 17, 2014

Senior Market Sales (SMS) today unveiled its latest exclusive product offering – Medicare Supplement insurance plans by Loyal Christian Benefit Association (LCBA). Six states have approved the plans: Arizona, Kentucky, Montana, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Approvals are pending in nine states.

The launch marks the first foray into Medicare Supplement for LCBA, which serves more than 32,000 members in 28 states and the District of Columbia with life insurance, annuities and funeral pre-arrangement funding products. Founded in 1890, LCBA is a fraternal benefit society, a non-profit organization that returns earnings of its financial products to member customers and their communities in the form of direct member benefits and support of local community service projects.

SMS partnered with LCBA as the exclusive distributor of LCBA's Medicare Supplement insurance plans. SMS has been a leader in the Medicare Supplement market for more than 30 years and has evolved into a full-service insurance marketing organization offering Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D, annuities and life, long-term care, dental and travel insurance among other products and services.

“Independent agents selling LCBA's Medicare Supplement through SMS will appreciate LCBA's telephonic applications, because they provide on-the-spot underwriting decisions, freeing up the agent to produce more,” said Dwane McFerrin, SMS' vice president of Medicare Solutions. “It's an attractive product by itself, but we're especially excited to see how well it will do when combined with the support that only SMS offers independent agents.”

Agents who work with SMS have access to insurance experts, lead programs, field-tested direct mail programs and proprietary technology that includes online quoting and contact management.

“LCBA chose to partner with SMS because of its success and leadership in the industry and its reputation for supporting independent agents who are dedicated to finding the right product for their clients' needs,” said Doug Tuttle, LCBA's CEO and president. “We know from our roots dating back to 1890 that people want to work with organizations that give back to their communities. We wanted to partner with an organization that could help us serve even more people and more communities. SMS has that reach.”

LCBA offers members value-added benefits at no extra charge, including:

• Donation of $75 to the qualified church or charity of the member's choice after 13 months as an LCBA member
• Scholarship opportunities
• Discount program benefits (identity recovery assistance after ID theft, prescription savings program, hearing aid discounts and more)
