Payment changes to know about

Due to upcoming plan portfolio changes, Geisinger is amending their HRA and commission payments on the Classic 360 Rx HMO product.

Effective immediately, Geisinger Health Plan will no longer pay for HRA completions on any Classic 360 Rx (HMO) enrollments.

Additionally, as of Aug. 1, Geisinger Health Plan will not pay commission on Classic 360 Rx sales in the 11 counties where the product is being terminated: Adams, Bradford, Carbon, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, Perry, Schuylkill, Wayne and York.

For enrollments effective Jan. 1, 2026:

• ½ FMV commission for Classic 360
• If Classic 360 was the member’s plan before Oct. 1, 2025, you will receive regular renewal rate.
• Any new apps (plan transfers/changes or new-to-GHP through broker is ½) as of Oct. 1 and beyond for 2025 and 2026 effectives.
• Max FMV for all other products
• Geisinger will pay for HRAs on the Preferred Complete Rx (PPO) and Preferred Advantage Rx (PPO) plans sold with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2026.
• Geisinger will also continue to pay $75 for health risk assessments (HRAs) that are completed for new-to-GHP HMO Gold plans (excluding Classic 360 Rx) using their Connecture platform.

Remember the value of Medicare Advantage coverage

Help your customers get more coverage for their insurance dollars. Medicare Advantage plans include all the benefits of Original Medicare, plus more. Many Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage and extras, like vision and hearing benefits, savings on insulin and home delivery of medications. Monthly premiums vary by plan and coverage, but there are some plans available for $0 a month (plus the member’s monthly Part B premium).
