Northwest Medicare Broker Program

As of June 2022, Kaiser Permanente Northwest has a Medicare Broker Program allowing brokers to sell Medicare Advantage plans to Medicare-eligible individuals. This program will be available in the Northwest region and will not include Medicare group sales.

How the program works:

  • You must be enrolled with at least one of two Field Marketing Organizations (FMOs) approved to sell Kaiser Permanente Medicare Advantage individual plans in the Northwest region: Integrity and HealthMarkets. Contact information can be found below.
  • Broker commissions will be paid through the FMOs. Brokers participating in this program can reach out to the FMO they’re working with to determine exact commissions.
  • To receive commissions for current KP Individual and Family (KPIF) Plan members who are aging into Medicare, brokers must already be listed as an Agent of Record with KPIF Plan membership and have been receiving commission payments on the non-Medicare Individual coverage for at least 3 months prior to the Medicare enrollment. Kaiser Permanente will not pay commissions on current members of a Kaiser employer group plan that retire and transition onto a Medicare Advantage product.
  • For more information, please review our Medicare Advantage Broker Sales Program FAQ or contact nw-medicarebrokersupport@kp.org.
  • Kaiser Permanente Northwest is 100% automated with electronic application submission through SunFire. No paper applications are accepted.
  • Kaiser Permanente will work with the SunFire platform to support broker leads, applications, and book of business management.
  • All broker commission payments will be distributed via the associated FMO within 60 days after the Medicare member’s effective date.

Field Marketing Organizations

To support this new program, Kaiser Permanente Northwest has entered into an agreement with two Field Marketing Organizations (FMOs): Integrity and HealthMarkets. At this time, we cannot authorize individual agents or agencies that are not under contract with these two FMOs to sell our Medicare plans. The FMOs will provide support and resources for brokers including payment of commissions and assistance with appointment and training.

Brokers wishing to participate in the Medicare Broker Program, should contact one of the two organizations below to be appointed and approved.
