GoHealth Medicare Marketplace June Enhancement | Humana OSB

Medicare Agents and Managers,

Check out the new Marketplace enhancement that launched recently!

 

  1. ENHANCEMENT: Humana Optional Supplementary Benefits (OSB) Enrollments in the Marketplace

Humana OSBs are live in the Marketplace, which means agents no longer have to go to carrier portals to see if a plan has an OSB. One of the easiest ways to check if a Humana plan has an OSB is to check for the OSB indicator on the quote card:

Plan details will also indicate if a plan offers OSBs:

Here’s what it looks like once an OSB has been added to the cart for enrollment:

Why are OSBs important?

Many Humana Medicare Advantage plans include routine dental, vision and fitness coverage. To help customers manage their costs, Humana offers a broad range of optional supplemental benefits (OSBs) for an additional monthly premium. Learn more about Humana OSBs here. Note that a plan can have one or more OSBs attached.

 

Having supplemental benefits attached to a Humana MA plan can be a really important benefit, so this Marketplace feature gives you the tools to help more people get enrolled in a great plan for them!

Soon, agents will be able to complete UHC OSB enrollments in the Marketplace. Stay tuned for a future communication announcing when this feature is live.

 

Thank you for your dedication to the GoHealth Marketplace!

Humana | 2021 Compliance Communication – SEP for Individuals Affected by a Disaster or Emergency

2021 Compliance Communication

 SEP for Individuals Affected by a Disaster or Emergency 

 

Who qualifies for this SEP?

Effective January 1, 2021, an SEP exists for individuals affected by a disaster or other emergency declared by a Federal, state or local government entity who were unable to, and did not make an election during another valid election period. This includes both enrollment and disenrollment elections.

 

Individuals are eligible for this SEP if they:

  • Reside, or resided at the start of the SEP eligibility period, in an area for which a federal, state or local government entity has declared a disaster or other emergency or they do not reside in an affected area but rely on help making healthcare decisions from one or more individuals who reside in an affected area; and
  • Were eligible for another election period at the time of the SEP eligibility period; and
  • Did not make an election during that other valid election period due to the disaster or other emergency.

 

The SEP starts as of the date the declaration is made, the incident start date or, if different, the start date identified in the declaration, whichever is earlier. The SEP ends two (2) full calendar months following the end date identified in the declaration or, if different, the date the end of the incident is announced, whichever is later.

What Does This Mean to Agents

If an individual wants to enroll and believes they may qualify for this SEP, agents should:

  • Ask the beneficiary if they can show proof that they lived/live in an impacted area at the start of the SEP eligibility period.
  • If they do not have proof, ask them to verbally attest.
  • Confirm that they had another election period available during the time of the incident period.
  • Confirm that the beneficiary lived in a county that has been declared an emergency or major disaster or relies on help making healthcare decisions from friends or family members who lived/live in the affected areas.
  • Once eligibility has been verified, proceed with the application.
  • On applications, use election code SEP DST.

 

Enrollments made pursuant to this SEP are effective the first of the month following the receipt of the enrollment request. For enrollment requests where more than one enrollment effective date is possible, agents will need to determine the applicant’s desired effective date.

 

This SEP should never be used as a marketing tool to promote MA or PDP sales.  Agents should not be actively marketing this SEP, but rather, be aware that it is available in case they are approached by someone who believes they have missed an election period due to the weather related incident.

 

For any updates to eligible counties for FEMA declarations please refer to the FEMA website at: https://www.fema.gov/disasters

New HCSC Appointment Process Now Available!

HCSC has launched its new appointment platform and is accepting appointments again!

The process for agents to request an appointment with HCSC has not changed; only the platform on which agents complete their appointment application has changed.

When GoHealth has processed an appointment request, the agent will receive an email from producer_service_center@hcsc.net with the subject line of “Onboarding Invitation.”  The email will contain a URL, user ID and a temporary password to begin the appointment process.

Please contact your Manager with any questions regarding the new process.
