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!
