FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kate Spilsbury, RSSA®, CMIP®, Earns Nationally Recognized Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™ Designation

One of Fewer Than 40 in Florida to Achieve This Status

Jacksonville, FL – Kate Spilsbury, RSSA®, CMIP®, founder of Mere Benefits, has officially been awarded the Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™ (CMIP®) designation—an elite recognition held by fewer than 40 professionals in the state of Florida. This designation affirms her deep expertise and ethical commitment to guiding clients through Medicare and related health insurance decisions with clarity and care.

Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA administration, confirms that Kate Spilsbury has met the standards necessary to be awarded the Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™ - CMIP® designation

A Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, CMIP®, is a professional designation available to active licensed health agents in good standing that meet the rigorous standards of having at least seven years of experience as a licensed health producer and can show seven years of passing AHIP or carrier MA/PDP annual testing and certification for marketing Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans while maintaining high ethical standards.

A CMIP® professional designation holder agrees to abide by the Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA administration’s Code of Ethics/Violation Policy/Agreements document.

"Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA, authorizes the use of its trademarks CMIP®, and Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™ to agents that have met Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA administration’s initial and ongoing certification requirements. The Federal Government, CMS, and Medicare do not affiliate with or endorse ANY professional designation, which includes the CMIP® designation."

Unlike most licensed agents, CMIP® designees like Kate Spilsbury have verified years of experience, maintain current Medicare certifications, and uphold a higher standard of ethical and educational accountability. This gives clients the confidence that they’re receiving guidance from someone who has both the knowledge and the integrity to help them make informed decisions about their health coverage.

Spilsbury stated, “This designation reflects the seriousness with which I approach helping my clients. Medicare can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. My goal is always to offer clear guidance, the right coverage, and no confusion.”

Mere Benefits provides no-cost, no-obligation consultations and support for individuals navigating Medicare, the ACA Marketplace, group coverage, self-employed health insurance, and more. Kate and her team serve clients locally in Jacksonville, FL and across multiple states.
