Wellcare Insider: Important Updates and Reminders

May 3, 2023
Wellcare

Medicaid Redetermination Resources

As a reminder, Wellcare members set to be disenrolled from their Medicaid plans will need your help to obtain new coverage and maintain continuity of coverage, as the redetermination process has resumed after three years of being paused due to the COVID pandemic. Nearly every state has begun contacting members, or will begin soon, to initiate this redetermination process. Up to 15 million individuals are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage.

       

What you can do to help

Review our comprehensive Redetermination Resource Page to help you in guiding members through this process. You'll find timelines, state-specific guidelines, and broker/agent training resources all conveniently organized in one location.

                         

                           

Amazon Pharmacy Reminder      

Our members trust us for coverage that goes beyond basic Medicare. Part D coverage, available on many of our MAPD and PDP plans, allows members to get their covered drugs through one of our network pharmacies. When they use a preferred retail pharmacy, beneficiaries can save even more on prescriptions.

In 2023, Amazon joined CVS, Walgreens, and most large grocers in our preferred retail network. A supplemental Pharmacy flyer is being mailed to our members by many of our health plans with insight into this exciting new Pharmacy option. While not every member will receive this flyer, please review the Part D Amazon Member Mailer for assistance in addressing any member questions you may receive.

For more information, refer to the Preferred Pharmacy Network One-Pager and other tools at the AEP Resources Landing Page.
