The American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance's Linkedin group for Medicare insurance producers has passed the 7,000-member mark.

"We wanted a way to provide meaningful information as well as relevant data," explains Jesse Slome, director of the Medicare insurance advocacy organization.  "I believe this is now the largest Linkedin group specifically focused on Medicare insurance."

Hosted by the Association Slome explained that the organization uses the medium as a way to gather and disseminate information.  "For example, we just completed a survey of Medicare insurance agents reporting Medicare insurance earnings across a number of years."

The Linkedin Group is open to agents and brokers as well as others who market Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and other senior-related products.

"At the request of early members, we do not allow the posting of promotional messages or items from those with agendas," Slome notes.
