Clients are bringing TikTok insurance advice into advisor meetings
These days, social media outlets, like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, are flooded with financial advice.
Many so-called experts are sharing insurance tips that may or may not be accurate, often leaving clients confused and misinformed.
“It used to be that a client would repeat something a cousin or a coworker told them. Now they just pull out their phone and hand it to you: 30 seconds, two million views, some random guy talking fast,” said Marcus Wiseman of RFM Digital, a company that builds AI, content, and automation systems for individuals in insurance and financial services.
Screen Sharing for Small Insurance Teams That Skip the Complexity
Screen sharing for insurance sales is a digital communication method that allows brokers to display quotes and policy documents to clients in real time during a phone call. This technology works by generating a unique link that a client opens in their web browser to view the agent’s screen without downloading software. Adopting a frictionless screen sharing solution is essential for small insurance teams because it eliminates technical delays and builds the trust necessary to close complex policies.

New No Surprises Act rules force employer plans to justify claim cuts
Employer health plans that pay out-of-network doctors or hospitals less than the providers billed now have to tell the providers exactly what plan is paying the bill.
A plan that “downcodes” a claim must also give the provider some information about why it downcoded the claim.
The new claim payment message requirements took effect last week. They are just some of the new requirements that are taking effect as federal regulators revamp the federal No Surprises Act independent dispute resolution system.
