Medicare Commissions & Distribution: What Independent Agents Can Expect in 2026

We’ll discuss whatever the group wants to dig into, but common themes include:

• 2026 commission expectations
• PDP commission changes and SAR/suppression issues
• How carriers are shifting distribution strategy
• What independents are seeing in the field
• Call centers, platforms, and contracting pressure
• Forecasting renewals and what Feb 1 statements may reveal
• Staying independent and stable in a changing landscape

Format:
This is a discussion-based roundtable, not a presentation. No slides, no pitches — just honest, off-the-record conversation with peers.

TBD — final location will be emailed to RSVPs once the attendance list settles. Expect a quiet library meeting room or small community space.
Group norms:
• Independent agents only
• No contracting/recruiting
