FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kate Spilsbury Awarded Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM (CMIP®) Designation One of Fewer Than 40 in Florida to Earn This Nationally Recognized Certification

Jacksonville, FL – Mere Benefits is proud to announce that its founder, Kate Spilsbury, has officially earned the Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM (CMIP®) designation—one of fewer than 40 professionals in the entire state of Florida to hold this prestigious title.

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

A Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM, 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 PlannerTM, DBA administration’s Code of Ethics/Violation Policy/Agreements document.

"Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM, DBA, authorizes the use of its trademarks CMIP®, and Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM to agents that have met Certified Medicare Insurance PlannerTM, 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."

Working with a CMIP® means working with someone who is not only licensed but has met advanced standards of excellence, accountability, and continuing education. Unlike most agents, CMIP® designees have verified years of experience, a proven track record of up-to-date Medicare training, and a commitment to ethical guidance for every client interaction.

“Medicare is too important to leave to chance,” said Kate Spilsbury. “This designation reflects the seriousness with which I approach helping my clients. It’s not about pushing a product—it’s about offering clear guidance, the right coverage, and no confusion.”

Mere Benefits is a trusted, local agency serving clients throughout Florida and beyond with health insurance solutions for Medicare, Marketplace plans, group benefits, self-employed options, and more. With this designation, Kate and her team reaffirm their dedication to simplifying complex insurance decisions and serving the community with integrity.
