Comments

Good news! GTL’s Agent Portal now has three convenient options for capturing your client’s signature!

In addition to the existing Text-to-Sign and Voice Verification options, our newest alternative allows your client to sign with their finger on a touchpad or by using the mouse on the screen!

Not sure which option to choose during the application process?

Text-to-Sign and Voice Verification are best when you are not present with the client.

Use Text-to-Sign when your client’s cell phone is handy. A text message with a secure link will be sent to capture their signature.

Voice Verification will have your client complete a short phone call to verify their personal information.

** NEW** The Digital Signature option will allow your client to e-sign the application by using your mouse, touchpad, or your PC’s touchscreen.

You will be provided the new digital signature option on the Authorization page during the application process.

Click the blue underlined text link where your client can sign in the pop up window.

The rest of the application process remains the same!

Please note: once your client signs using the new digital signature feature and you hit save and continue, you cannot switch to Text-to-Sign or Voice Verification.

Eighty-seven (87) percent of Aetna Medicare Advantage members in 4-star plans or higher for 2024

Commitment to exceptional service for members across the nation drove a significant improvement in member experience ratings

Today, we’re excited to announce that 87 percent of Aetna Medicare Advantage (MA) members are in 2024 Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans that are rated 4 stars or higher (out of 5 stars) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This represents a significant achievement, given the considerably more stringent CMS measurement criteria this year.

“We are committed to delivering outstanding experiences and driving improved health outcomes for our Medicare Advantage members.”

“We are committed to delivering outstanding experiences and driving improved health outcomes for our Medicare Advantage members,” said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. “Our strong 2024 Star Ratings for Aetna are a result of focused execution and seamless collaboration across our entire company. We remain unwavering in our efforts to drive continuous improvement to support our members now and well into the future.”

We're Here to Help

For questions about plans in your local market, please reach out to your local Aetna Medicare Broker Manager.

New for 2024 – Wellcare Spendables Card-

Policyholders should call the number on their card for information. Please do not call Pinnacle.

In our ongoing mission to provide high-value benefits that are most helpful for our members’ overall health, we would like to provide you with additional resources for comprehensive learning on one of our most exciting plan additions for 2024:

Wellcare SpendablesTM Card

Select 2024 plans will now include the Wellcare Spendables card. This program replaces the previous Flex Card benefit program and will be offered across all states.

Benefit Highlights

  • Members will receive a pre-loaded allowance on a Visa debit card that they may use towards their over-the-counter (OTC) benefit on health products at over 55,000 participating retailers such as Walmart, CVS, Kroger, Publix, and more.
  • D-SNP members may use their monthly allowance for healthy foods, pay-at-pump gas, or assistance with utilities and rent.
  • Select D-SNP and other plans will also include cost-share assistance on out-of-pocket expenses for dental, vision, or hearing benefits.
  • Depending on the member’s plan, benefits will be managed as a combined allowance from one single purse (all D-SNP plans and select additional plans) or managed as a separate allowance from two purses that members may choose to use toward their plan’s eligible benefits.

Amounts and coverages vary by plan. Please take a few moments to review all of the Wellcare Spendables resources, including a new supplemental benefit video and FAQ resource.
