Excellus BlueCross BlueShield

5-Star Special Enrollment Period

Excellus BlueCross Blue Shield HMO plans have earned 5 out of 5 stars from Medicare in the Rochester area for 2022. What does that mean for you? It’s an opportunity to sell Rochester’s only 5-star rated Medicare plans outside of AEP– and a win for clients looking to move into a higher quality plan right now. Your clients can use the 5-Star Special Enrollment Period to make a one-time switch into one of our 5-star rated plans now through November 30, 2022. We’ve put together resources to outline what you and your clients need to know about the 5-Star SEP. Log into the Medicare Sales Hub to access them or download below.

Medicare members can access a doctor from home or on-the-go 24/7/365 using our telemedicine partner, MDLIVE. More information can be  found on the Telehealth flyer below. This and other telehealth resources are now available for download in the Medicare Sales Hub.
