New Medicare Rates for 2022 – November 15, 2021 Meeting

How we are fine-tuning and adding automation to help with clients screening. See this internal office meeting video below: See the video: Notes from the meeting: AGENDA Part 1 of 2 - Internal Stuff - Hannah HIPAA-protected info like health records should be sent to the carrier directly whenever possible. If that’s not possible, please have them use the secure form upload. The new underwritten booking link has health questions on it now. We don’t need to send both the HQ link AND the booking link. It’s all in one place. TONS of VMS - need all of them called. We are letting ourselves fall behind. Don’t care about calendar calls, Medicare # needed sheet, or anything NOT mission critical today. Really need call times/counts at an all-time high this time of year. Don’t spend more time prepping to call than actually calling. We have to learn to figure things out on the fly. See a process that we could make more efficient? Please say something! Aetna GI docs- can upload to Enrollment Tracker if it’s an urgent task that you don’t want to wait on Courtney to get to. Part 2 of 2 - All Medicare Stuff - Chris MAPD Trial Right, when trying out MAPD for the first time (not new to Medicare). For people who were eligible for Medicare > 2020, their G.I. Plan is Plan G. For people who were eligible for Medicare < 2020, their G.I. Plan is still Plan F. Most people do not know this. IEP - brand new to Medicare, they have ONE SHOT to pick a Part D. Cannot then change within their same IEP - must wait for the next AEP (10/15 - 12/7) or OEP (1/1 - 3/31). 2022 Numbers Announced Friday Night: https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/2022-medicare-parts-b-premiums-and-deductibles2022-medicare-part-d-income-related-monthly-adjustment Part B monthly premium (base) going from $148.50 to $170.10 per month Part D deductible goes from $203 to $233 Mutual of Omaha E-Apps, when getting their signature, you can use our new domain SignMutual.com which will redirect to the often-confusing SignYourMedSuppApp.com Remember, never have them wait for an email and sign on their own, off the phone.
