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.
