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.”

Wellcare | VBE/HRA Process Remains In Place for 2024
Comments

Health Risk Assessments (HRA) are a valuable tool for improving the overall health of our members. In addition to identifying health needs to ensure beneficiaries are receiving the right care at the right time, HRAs also play an important role in understanding the overall patient population with the goal of improving personalized and targeted care for all.

To expedite this important initiative, Wellcare is pleased to continue to provide the opportunity to earn administrative payment for the completion of each HRA.

  • No changes will be made in 2024 for the current administrative payment structure:
    • A $225 administrative payment is available for eligible D-SNP/C-SNP enrollments.
    • A $75 administrative payment is available for eligible MA/MAPD enrollments.
  • An HRA may be captured directly within Ascend and Sunfire after the enrollment is submitted, using the integrated tool.   

We also offer a standalone Value-Based Enrollment (VBE) link for submissions for each plan year.

2023 link: wellcareisf.io/2023/vbe/addmember 
2024 link: wellcare.isf.io/2024/vbe/addmember 

Note:
 Refer to the Ascend 2024 Integrated and Standalone Value Based Enrollment Training Guide for instructions when using the standalone link.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership!

GTL’s HIP Elite Guaranteed Issue Now up to Age 70!

GTL | New Digital Signature Option on GTL’s Agent Portal!

GTL | New Digital Signature Option on GTL’s Agent Portal!
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.
