Refresher! Agent of Record (AOR) Retention

If you need a refresher on the UnitedHealthcare Agent of Record Retention (AOR) policy, here’s what you need to know! AOR status is retained when members make a plan change from any UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage (MA), Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD), Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) or Chronic Special Needs Plan (CSNP) to another UnitedHealthcare MA, MAPD, DSNP or CSNP via Telesales, web or paper application without the assistance of a renewal eligible agent (i.e. field agent) provided eligibility requirements have been met.

The AOR will be reinstated by the end of the month following the new plan effective date. For example, the AOR would be reinstated by Feb. 28 for a plan effective Jan. 1. A new commission will be paid at that time, assuming the AOR is eligible for the member’s new plan. Refer to your monthly February statement available on Jarvis at the end of February for plans effective Jan. 1, 2020. Plan changes are paid on a monthly basis the month following the plan effective month.
