Wellcare Sonata MA Plan 08

[scottfree]

The Wellcare Sonata Plan for 08 looks like the plan to beat in the prime zero premium areas.

In the NW Arkansas area it is a $0 premium with some of the extra benefits that came with the 07 Duet plan.

$1000 dental yearly
$0 yearly eye exam with $260 for eye glasses yearly
$1000 in hearing aids every 3 years( I believe )
Also $30 a month in personal care items (OTC items through mail order)

$100 a day hospital first 5
$5 and $15 Dr. and Specialisy visits
$35 Emergency and Urgent Care visits
Co-pays for out patient services I think it was $100(should have taken better notes)
$3500 MOOP

$400 per app and a $15 bonus for using telephone application.
Add an AARP pdp to the client and you are making a nice $495 per appointment.

I have a lot of soon to be ex Humana clients!

Looking forward to all the hard work that I will be doing for 3 months!

Where can I get a wellcare contract.

I e-mailed them through their web site 5 times, and have never received a response. Called them twice, still no info. If you figure it out let me know.

They are not appointing new agents yet. I know of at least one FMO who will pay you top dollar and give you a release. PM for the name.

SMS is a class outfit and gave me a release letter upon my request - a prenup!

I have been asked other questions on Wellcare and need to say they do have other plans also...

We did not get hand out for the plans, we told that they are ready to print as soon as Medicare publishes the deductibles for 08.

I should have been more complete on their plans. I just think Sonata is the best of their offerings.

They also have…
MA only/Prelude-$250 a day Hospital (1-5days)-$20-35 PCP/Spec-MOOP $3750-Up to a $50 rebate on part B
MA-PD/Concert-$150 a day hospital (1-5days)-$15--$30 PCP/Spec-MOOP $3750-Rx $5or$7/28/58-$0 premium

All plans include the extras of dental-vision-hearing and personal items
I am not sure which will replace Freedom but we were told that no commission would be paid-just renewal.

Duet is staying the same-in Arkansas they are expanding from 7 to 20+ counties-they said they expanding the Dual counties nationwide-I believe they are not selling to Duals in MO or Fl anymore because of State not committing to paying.

As far as premiums-I only have the premiums for AR and MO.
It does look a lot like the area’s that Humana is zero – they are also - The highest the Sonata premium gets is $19. They do vary the co-pays it seemed a little as they had A/B/C areas.

I hope this gives you a better Idea. We had a Regional Public relations Rep and Regional Sales Rep at our meeting, I was impressed on what they had to say.

We also went over the Humana-Coventry-Pyramid (Which does have $195 hospital stay)and Secure Horizon plans (Not AARP/guess no info on it yet)and Sonata with the extras really looked the best .(IMHO)


Hope this gives you a better idea of their offerings.

I just talked to Kiley yesterday. He didn't mention anything about wellcare. Must not be on the top of his list.

Wellcare here in metro is an HMO only. Avail to only a couple counties. Interesting how they split up the pies(states) into different flavors.

It has been the same here until now, but apparently they are coming out with a PFFS.
