Get a non-resident license 2. Refer your client 3. Partner with New Horizons Let's get right into it!   ## 1. Get a Non-Resident License Consider expanding your Medicare Supplement business and get a **non-resident license** in that state. Ensure you get appointed with the carriers you need to write for your customer. The **states with the lowest cost non-resident licenses** include: - Michigan - New Mexico - South Carolina - South Dakota - Iowa - West Virginia - Texas - Florida The **most expensive non-resident licenses** come from: - Puerto Rico - Virgin Islands - Hawaii - Massachusetts You can check the license fee structure for your state on the [NIPR website](https://nipr.com/licensing-center/apply). This definitely works, but most agents don't want the expense and hassle of licensing when they are probably only going to write a case or two. ## 2. Refer Your Client Another option is referring your client to **another agent or broker** in that state. This works as well, but usually your customer would rather still work with you – and how do you get an ongoing commission in this case? ## 3. Partner with New Horizons A third solution is to let the friendly folks at New Horizons **come to the rescue!** Since we're licensed in almost every state, it's easy for us to get on the phone with you and your customer in another state, explain their options, and enroll them in the best plan for them. Your customer is satisfied, and **you receive compensation from us,** so everyone is happy! Working with an FMO can often be the best solution. ## Conclusion Next time one of your customers moves out of state, don't sweat it. Give us a call at [888-780-7676](tel:8887807676), and we will work together so you can continue to serve your customer. ***Related:*** [Do Independent Agents Really Need a Field Marketing Organization (FMO)?](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/do-independent-agents-really-need-field-marketing-organization-fmo)   [Sales Tips](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/tag/sales-tips), [FMO](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/tag/fmo) ## Comments ## Read On [![NH-When-I-Cant-Get-My-Client-a-Better-Policy-I-See-It-As-An-Opportunity](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/hubfs/NH-When-I-Cant-Get-My-Client-a-Better-Policy-I-See-It-As-An-Opportunity.jpg)](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/when-i-cant-get-my-client-a-better-policy-i-see-opportunity) ### [When I Can’t Get My Client a Better Policy, I See It As An Opportunity](https://blog.newhorizonsmktg.com/when-i-cant-get-my-client-a-better-policy-i-see-opportunity) 💬 Tell us in the comments: how do you establish trust with new clients?
