The prompt

Write a neutral side-by-side explanation of Medicare Supplement (Medigap) vs. Medicare Advantage: networks, cost structure, enrollment timing considerations. No plan or carrier recommendations; add placeholder for required disclaimers. Under 250 words.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (whether the client is turning 65 or already enrolled, the format, and tone). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Write a neutral side-by-side explanation of Medicare Supplement (Medigap) vs. Medicare Advantage: networks, cost structure, enrollment timing considerations. No plan or carrier recommendations; add placeholder for required disclaimers. Under 250 words.

What a good result looks like

A good explainer is balanced: it describes how each option generally works (networks, how costs are shared, and enrollment timing considerations) without saying which is better. It should read like education, stay under the word limit, and end by inviting the client to talk through their own situation with a licensed agent.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Don't name plans or carriers, and watch for subtle bias such as listing only advantages for one option. Enrollment rules (for example when someone can buy a Medigap policy without health questions) vary by situation and state, so keep those statements general and accurate. Add your required disclaimers and have compliance review the final version.

How to adapt the prompt

Ask for a side-by-side table instead of paragraphs if the client prefers to scan. For clients turning 65, focus on the initial enrollment timing; for people already enrolled, mention when changes are generally possible. You can also ask for a version at a lower reading level.
