Senior Markets Update

 

 Highmark's Medigap Blue Promotional Enrollment Period Starts Now!
 

 

Now through December 31st, Highmark is extending a unique opportunity for your Pennsylvania clients currently enrolled in a non-Highmark Medicare Supplement plan, who may be interested in Whole Health Balance but don’t want to risk losing their preferred rate status by switching, to enroll in a Highmark Medigap Blue plan!

In order to qualify:

  • Enrollment must be:
    • Same letter plan* (e.g. Plan G to Plan G)
    • Rate to rate (e.g. Preferred/ Non-tobacco to Preferred)
    • For an effective date of January 1, 2020
  • Applicants must purchase Whole Health Balance**
  • Enrollees must have first obtained Medicare Supplement coverage when they were 65 years of age or older
  • Applications must be completed in their entirety (e.g. all medical underwriting questions must be answered)

The new applications reflect more transparent underwriting requirements for those clients not eligible for this promotional opportunity who would like to apply through the traditional underwriting process. Therefore, due to this limited promotional period, there are no unique fields on the application indicating this opportunity. All applications received after December 31, 2019 will be processed through normal underwriting procedures. 

The electronic submission process will be available on the Producer Portal beginning October 15th. In the meantime, those agents wishing to take immediate advantage of this opportunity may submit the updated paper applications.

This promotional opportunity is eligible for the underwritten commission level. Please contact your agency regarding specific commission information.
