Medicare Offerings
Last month, we announced the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) was requiring the following disclaimer be added to all material given to a Medicare beneficiary from an authorized agent, beginning Oct. 1, 2022: We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

Since then, CMS released an FAQ document including further details on when the TPMO disclaimer is required to be included on marketing materials or stated to a Medicare beneficiary.
 
Here’s what you need to know:
  • You no longer need to place stickers on the enrollment kits, or any materials created by UPMC for Life that DO NOT include your personal contact information. You will see that new orders of enrollment kits that are sent to you will not include the TPMO disclaimer sticker moving forward.
  • Marketing materials defined as such by CMS created by the TPMO or those created by UPMC for Life but include your personal contact information (no matter how they are created) must contain the TPMO disclaimer. If the material was not printed with the TPMO disclaimer, you can use the stickers we have sent you to continue to be compliant.
  • The TPMO disclaimer sticker must be directly affixed to the material itself, and not the envelope. It should not be placed overtop of any existing text and preferably on the front of the material. The sticker should not be placed on a blank side of the material where the beneficiary may not see it.
  • If you are a seminar presenter or conducting any sales meetings/events, you are not required to use the personalized TPMO disclaimer flier or recite the disclaimer but may do so if you’d like.
