Kansas
The first step to launching your business as an independent producer is obtaining your insurance license.
If you live in Kansas, you will need to apply for a Resident Producer's License with the Kansas Insurance Department (KID).
To sell Medicare plans with ABC Medicare Plans, you will need to obtain an Accident & Health license. The Life Insurance license is not required, but many agents complete their requirements since most of the pre-licensing study courses cover that material.
You also may need a Life License to enroll your clients in additional coverage beyond Medicare plans.
