Position: Medicare Compliance & Advertising Filing Specialist

Location: Remote – United States

Compensation: Salary – Starting at $80K + Bonus

About the Role

We are a Medicare-focused insurance agency/brokerage licensed to sell Medicare Advantage(MA), Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP), and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) products across multiple carriers. We are seeking a Medicare Compliance & Advertising Filing Specialist to serve as the dedicated owner of our advertising compliance program—responsible for the end-to-end review, submission, and lifecycle management of all Medicare advertising materials filed with carriers and CMS.

This is not a generalist compliance role. It is a specialized position built around the operational and regulatory demands of Medicare advertising. The person we hire will spend the majority of their time working directly in HPMS and with carrier and other clients, reviewing advertorial material content against CMS Medicare Marketing Guidelines and other state and/or federal regulations as applicable, resolving objections, and maintaining the filing infrastructure that keeps MPA in good standing. If you have done this work, for an insurance agency or brokerage, FMO, or TPMO, lead generation, or other applicable setting, we want to talk to you.

Key Responsibilities

Advertising Filings

• Own all Medicare advertising submissions through the CMS Health Plan Management System (HPMS), including file & use and prior approval filings for MA, MAPD, and PDP materials
• Submit and manage advertising materials through each contracted carrier’s co-op advertising portal or designated advertising review process
• Track every filing from initial submission through final disposition—maintaining records of submission dates, carrier/CMS response dates, approval status, objections received, corrections made, and final approval confirmation
• Respond to carrier and CMS objections promptly, coordinating corrected materials with internal staff and resubmitting within required timeframes
• Monitor HPMS filing calendars, carrier advertising deadlines, and material expiration dates; initiate renewals and withdrawals proactively
• Maintain a master advertising filing log covering all active, pending, approved, expired, and withdrawn materials across all carriers and plan types

Advertising Content Review & Pre-Submission Compliance

• Review all agency-produced advertising content against CMS Medicare Marketing Guidelines (MMG) before submission, including for example: direct mail pieces, print ads, digital display, paid social, email campaigns, radio/TV scripts, websites, landing pages, and sales event invitations
• Identify non-compliant content (e.g., misleading benefit representations, prohibited comparisons, unauthorized use of Medicare or government seals, impermissible inducements, missing required disclosures, etc.) and direct corrections before any material is filed or published
• Apply and verify all required disclaimers, co-branding requirements, and plan-specific benefit disclosure standards
• Review other insurance (e.g., Medicare Supplement) advertising for compliance with applicable NAIC model standards and state-specific advertising regulations
• Serve as the final compliance sign-off before any advertising asset is submitted to a carrier or CMS, or released for publication

Regulatory Monitoring & Internal Guidance

• Monitor CMS HPMS memos, Annual Marketing Review releases, and Medicare Marketing Guideline updates throughout the plan year; translate changes into clear, actionable guidance for agency staff and producers
• Maintain an up-to-date reference library of advertising guidelines, required disclaimers, approved language, and plan-specific advertising rules for each contracted carrier (e.g., MA, MAPD, PDP, and Medicare Supplement)
• Advise producers and agency leadership on what advertising content is and is not permissible under current CMS rules and carrier requirements
• Support the agency’s response to carrier compliance audits, CMS oversight inquiries, and state Department of Insurance advertising reviews

Policies, SOPs & Compliance Recordkeeping

• Develop and maintain written SOPs for the advertising material lifecycle, from internal review through carrier/CMS submission, approval, publication, expiration, and withdrawal
• Build and maintain filing documentation that would satisfy a carrier audit or CMS review at any point in the year
• Report advertising compliance activity, filing volumes, approval rates, and outstanding items to agency leadership on a regular basis
• Identify recurring content errors or process gaps and recommend corrections to prevent compliance exposure
