Anthem CT Last Minute AEP Updates

Connecticut Agents: what an AEP this has been. A lot of you have said it’s a weird one from years past, and a lot of you are thriving. Regardless of if you’ve had an amazing 8 weeks, a tough 8 weeks, or you struggled through, you are almost there. Here are a few updates for you this morning:

FEMA

CT currently has an active FEMA for flooding after Hurricane Ida. The date of the storm was 9/2/2021, the currently is not an end date for the FEMA election. Anthem can accept MAPD applications with this open FEMA.

Medicare Supplement- Guaranteed Issue

A lot of questions have come to Anthem about whether or not CT is going to continue as a guaranteed issue (GI) state. Currently, there is no talk about CT changing status for GI state. Anthem is still GI and will continue to be GI. They are rate holding for Plan N & Plan G for the entire 2022! There will be no increase to those two plans and current members received a letter letting them know. Just a few reminders:

• You can submit 12/1 business until 12/7 by paper application (tomorrow)
• 5% household discount, $2 discount for automatic bank draft and 2.85% when you pay premium for the year
• Lifetime commissions & Medicare supplement bonus
