    STAMFORD, Conn., April 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independence Holding Company (NYSE: IHC) announced today that it has entered the Medicare Supplement Insurance Market (Medigap), with an initial launch by Independence American Insurance Company (IAIC) in Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Utah.   By July, we expect to have 15 states, including Texas, and by the 2021 Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) that begins on October 15, 2020, IAIC intends to have Medigap plans in approximately 30 states.  IAIC Medicare Supplement has a variety of plans for consumers that will provide coverage that best meets their needs. IAIC’s first core Medicare Supplement offering will include plans A and F, as well as plans G and N.  The plans have competitive rates, point-of-sale underwriting, easy-to-use e-application with voice signature and e-signature capabilities.

    “This is an important milestone in the execution of a broad senior-market initiative for IHC,” said Roy Thung, IHC’s CEO. “The population in the United States is aging with approximately 10,000 people per day turning age 65.  IHC is pleased to add Medicare Supplement plans to an impressive portfolio of supplement products that reimburse for expenses not covered by traditional Medicare, such as Dental, Vision, Hearing, and Hospital Indemnity with Transition and Recovery Care.  Medicare Part’s A and B cover many healthcare expenses, and our products help pay for many costs not covered by traditional Medicare. IHC will market plans through IHC Specialty Benefits call centers and career agents, and through select third party distribution channels, using a sophisticated buyer propensity and health model developed by our recently acquired MarTech division. By the beginning of the 2021 AEP, we expect to have 150 licensed call center agents selling senior products, including IAIC’s new Medicare Supplement plans.”
