Review what you’ll need to do to become “ready to sell” our 2016 Individual Medicare products (MA/MAPD, PDP)
To become “ready to sell” our 2016 Aetna and Coventry Individual MA/MAPD and PDP products and receive commissions, you’ll need to complete several requirements prior to marketing or selling:
- CERTIFICATION: You’ll need to successfully complete the 2016 Aetna Individual Medicare annual certification process. -- Available starting July 10.
- CONTRACTING:
- New agents: Agents who haven’t contracted with us to sell our Individual Medicare products before must complete and submit a 2016 contract package online through our nomoreforms contracting site. 2016 contracting will begin in August.
- Existing agents: Agents who are currently contracted and ready-to-sell for 2015 do not need to re-contract unless they are changing hierarchy or contract level.
- If you need to change hierarchy or contract level, you’ll need to request those changes in nomoreforms. You'll need to use the new Scope of Submission form.
- LICENSING AND APPOINTMENT: You’ll need to be properly licensed in states where you sell. You’ll also need to be properly appointed by Aetna for all products you intend to sell. New agents will also need to pass a background check.
- RECEIVE A READY-TO-SELL NOTICE: You’ll receive a ready-to-sell notice confirming your ready-to-sell status. It will list out the specific states and products that you’re ready to sell and for which you can receive commissions. You’ll receive separate ready-to-sell notices for Aetna and Coventry Medicare products.
