Get to Know Geisinger Gold's Classic Essential Rx Plan

Annual Certification for 2022

Plan Year 2022 (PY22) Connecture site

Any broker who had access to the Plan Year 2021 Connecture site, Geisinger’s electronic enrollment tool, was automatically granted access to the PY22 Connecture site.

Visit the Connecture site

When you log into the PY22 site, you’ll use the username and password you were assigned to log into the PY21 site. If it doesn’t allow you to sign into the PY22 site with those credentials, use the “Forgot password” option to reset your password for the site. An email will be sent to you at the email address on your Connecture profile and will come from drx.com.  

If you have any issues logging into the PY22 site, or need to confirm that you have access, email Medicare Sales Operation for assistance.

Note: The Broker List from PY21 has migrated to PY22.
