It’s Not Too Late to Onboard With Envision!

, , , , , , ,

not too late

A lot has happened in the Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) market over the past year. The biggest news came when CVS purchased Aetna and, as a term of the sale, Aetna sold their massive PDP book of business to Wellcare—impacting over 2.5 million seniors. Now these PDP clients are receiving their ANOC letters informing them that their Aetna plan is now a Wellcare plan–causing many seniors to question their new carrier and how their drugs will be covered moving forward.

For brokers, this level of market disruption can be either a good thing or bad – all depending on how you respond when your clients come calling. At GarityAdvantage, we work with our agents to ensure they are properly positioned in the PDP market to take full advantage of this year’s migration.

CONTRACT WITH ENVISION

One carrier partner we want you to be aware of this season is EnvisionRx—an independent PDP provider who has established themselves as a key player in the low cost PDP market year after year. PDP is their only product line. They are small and highly focused, but growing fast and, unlike many of the big carriers, Envision pays the maximum allowable commission by CMS. Our agents have been pleased with both the broker support and the customer service they provide their members, leaving you more time to sell.

To help you best service your agents in the PDP space this coming AEP, we strongly suggest you take the Envision contract. Click here to view the benefits and the service area, and click this link to request contracting.

Best wishes for a successful AEP season!

Enrollment Do’s and Don’ts 2020

Enrollment Do's and Don'ts

Follow These Helpful Enrollment Reminders for a Successful AEP

As you know, Medicare Enrollments are subject to strict submission time frames implemented by CMS. To ensure a smooth process every time, please follow this helpful list of Do’s & Don’ts when submitting your applications.

Electronic Submissions
DO: Submit your apps though the NEW Enrollment Submission Tool on our Agent Dashboard

DON’T: Email your enrollments! We no longer accept enrollments via email for security reasons.

DO: Track your submissions via the Agent Dashboard

Fax Submissions
DON’T: Submit more than one application per upload or fax transmission.

DO: Use the Fax Cover Sheet and mark if the submission is NEW or a CHANGE/CORRECTION. This cuts down on duplicate submissions!

Ensure Accuracy
DON’T: Forget to submit ALL pages of the enrollment application.
For example; we have noticed many Aetna apps coming in without the first page. Aetna requires this page for the submission to be considered a full enrollment.
Double check your submissions!

DO: Check client zip codes for accuracy.

DON’T: Forget to complete ALL of the required information on the application.
For example; UHC applications for Medicare Advantage and PDP have an additional agent received date “signature date” that must be completed. Double check your submissions!

DO: Double check that you received a confirmation of your enrollment submission. If you enroll by fax, check your fax confirmation pages. If you enroll through the online submission tool, make sure your enrollment shows on the submitted apps page.

DO: Contact us with any questions/issues: 800-234-9488 or brokersupport@garityadvantage.com
