This week, Wellcare focuses on some important enrollment guidelines and spotlight their PPO product.
With less than a month before the close of the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (MA OEP), Wellcare wanted to highlight some important points concerning MA OEP guidelines:
Please refer to the previous email communication on MA OEP for more guidelines on this topic.
Wellcare continues to receive SEP enrollments even when a valid SEP is not available for the member. As a reminder, SEPs are election periods outside of IEP, AEP and MA OEP where a qualifying individual may enroll into or disenroll from a plan, or change their current plan election. Please note the following SEP guidelines stated below:
You are encouraged to view the SEP section in the CMS Enrollment and Disenrollment Guidance for Medicare Advantage (MA) (Section 30.4) and/or Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) (Section 30.3) for detailed descriptions of the various types of SEPs and their eligibility criteria.
In an effort to help its members live better, healthier lives, Wellcare strives to create a wide variety of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans tailored to fit different healthcare needs. Its Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans are MA plans that put the members in the driver’s seat. They provide more flexibility and control by giving members the option to select doctors, hospitals and other health care services that are not in the plan’s network.
