Commissions & Overrides
2027 brings higher Medicare street level commissions, including a 14% increase for Part D plans and about 4.5% for Medicare Advantage. These are the maximum rates CMS allows carriers to pay agents and brokers directly. Your override commissions from Topflight are earned in addition to these base commissions.
