You can also order a paper directory in CustomPoint. Keep in mind they are updated at least once a month so online is always the most accurate

Changing to a Different (New) Plan

All plan changes require a new application.  There are a few ways to capture this:

• Paper app (fax to Anthem or FMO within 24 hours)
• mProducer online enrollment.  This tool is extremely easy to use and will give you an ID number within a day or so (depending on product). This is the quickest way to process applications. mProducer allows you to capture signatures a variety of ways.
• Wet signature on file (you have a paper app that you upload (type) the info into system)
• Signature pad (client signs with a mouse, finger, stylus or signature pad)
• Transfer to customer (made much more user friendly)
• Voice Signature (requires you to take a 60 min training.)
• If your client calls into member services to change their plan, you should be held as broker of record.

AOR/BOR Letters

• Anthem will still accept an AOR/BOR. It needs to be hand written by the member including their name, ID# or Medicare #, signature and date as well as your name and broker ID. Just a reminder of common curtesy, please ask the member if they are currently working with an agent and if the agent is servicing them before you ask them to sign a letter. Remember, we are all in this together!
• Email to commissions (preferred): Senior_SalesComp@anthem.com. You will get confirmation of receipt and when processed.
• Fax: 818-234-1358
