Aetna Med Supp

[agentjhc]

I received an Email indicating that Aetna was bringing a new med supp to GA. Will this replace ACI and CI or be an additional company?

It will replace CLI in Georgia.

It will replace CLI in Georgia.

Will existing CI enrolleesbe rolled to the new Aetna plan ?

No. Really no different than when MoO rolls out a new carrier. But you can likely expect significant rate increases on CLI over the next few years. They will have a 9.5% rate increase in April here in Georgia. I'm afraid that may be the lowest we see moving forward.

 

[agentjhc]

Aetna lowest rates, or lowest rate increases?

Not sure what you're asking.

Lowest rates from Aetna moving forward?

The new plan will be their lowest rates. What I was saying was CLI will likely have substantial rate increases moving forward since that book will be closed.

As screwed up at Aetna/Coventry has things in my market, I'm staying clear of any/all of their business as much as I can until things settle out.

Medicare side: Miss report pharmacy networks, causes SEP eligible beneficiaries for over 50k people. Moving clients via 800.medicare takes money out of my pocket but it is the right thing to do for the client.

ACA side: They are so screwed it is pathetic. If they screw it up, they take pride in keeping it that way and requiring at a minimum three interactions to even get it going in the right direction to correct.
