AETNA EXITING 2,618 MAPD PLANS IN 2025 ACROSS THE COUNTRY - DAMN

Just heard on an Aetna webinar that they are only offering ONE PDP for next year, Silverscript Choice, and IT WILL BE NON-COMMISSIONABLE! Supposedly if you already have people in the Choice plan you will continue to receive commissions. According to the rep on the call, other SS PDP plans are terminating, but if you apply clients on these other SS plans for the remaining Choice plan you will receive a commission since you already had them on a SS plan.....even though the Choice plan isn't supposed to pay commissions for new 2025 applications if that makes sense.

From what I see so far, it looks like Wellcare may be the best option. If Wellcare doesn't pay commissions, that's another problem.

I'm sure cms will not allow that, that's the definition of steering, what was the premium

What did you see from Wellcare

What did you see from Wellcare

They still have the 3 PDP plans. That’s all I know for now.

They were showing $45-$50 per month for the Choice plan nationwide. Switching someone from their SmartRx plan which was priced in the low teens in many states this year to that kind of premium to try to keep them with Silverscript would be a tough sell if they're not taking much in the way of medications. Hopefully Wellcare's lowest-priced PDP will be a good option for those people and pay commissions.

That’s funny. Aetna has only one PDP plan—and it’s called “Choice”.

Maybe rename it the "only choice" plan?
