Molina Healthcare is implementing a new background check process for agents who have been with the company for two years and have active enrollments. Agents will receive a link from Evolve asking for a signature of approval to run the background check, which will be valid for the duration of their active status with Molina Marketplace.

Pivot Health has introduced SureCare, a new plan for members needing coverage for less than 364 days. SureCare plans are available in 17 states: AL, AR, FL, GA, IL, KY, MO, NC, NE, OH, OK, SC, TN, WI, WV, WY.

NCD by MetLife plans will be offered in Oregon beginning on May 1st, 2024. Plans will be open for new enrollment through the National Wellness and Fitness Association.

New Applications Required After April 30, 2024
For producers not using easy@pp

In February, Mutual Trust Life Solutions introduced Automated Underwriting and Risk Analysis, or “AURA”, for all states except California. The new application and associated underwriting questionnaires are accessible through the Agent Website. We will not accept prior versions of the fillable application after April 30, 2024.

Producers who plan to complete the fillable applications must review additional updates to the filing process here.

For easy@pp users, no action is needed. AURA has integrated seamlessly with our easy@ppelectronic application platform, eliminating additional underwriting questionnaires and significantly streamlining the experience through advanced logic like reflexive questioning. We encourage you to submit applications electronically where possible, as these updates, and any others, are automatically applied in easy@pp upon implementation.

We hope you are enjoying the benefits of AURA, which include:

• Improved Accuracy – ensures applications are received in good order.
• Increased Consistency – treatment of underwriting rules will be consistent for every case.
• Technological Advancement – demonstrates our commitment to our goal of straight-through-processing!

The 2025 Medicare Certification Training will be available to producers beginning in June.

Ameritas Increases Dental Network by 5,100 Access Points

Ameritas dental plan members will soon have a larger network of access points. Through a new network-sharing arrangement with United Concordia, Amertias Classic and Classic/Plus will increase their dental network access points by more than 5,100.

This shift will improve their overall network utilization by approximately 2%. The expansion gives Ameritas dental plan members access to more money-saving network providers than ever before.

Through the enhanced nationwide dental network providers and out-of-pocket savings of 30 -45%, this is an opportunity for clients to offer their employees a comprehensive dental plan they will actually use.
