CVS Health announces COVID-19 resources for Aetna members

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Fri, Mar 13, 2020 @ 01:35 PM

CVS Health announces COVID-19
resources for Aetna members

In response to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak, CVS Health announced a series of steps designed to support the health and well-being of Aetna members, ensure patient access to medication, and remove barriers to care.

Effective immediately:

Aetna will waive co-pays for all diagnostic testing related to COVID-19. This policy will cover the cost of physician-ordered testing for patients who meet CDC guidelines, which can be done in any approved laboratory location. Aetna will waive the member costs associated with diagnostic testing for all Commercial, Medicare and Medicaid lines of business. Self-insured plan sponsors will be able to opt-out of this program at their discretion.
For the next 90 days, Aetna will offer zero co-pay telemedicine visits for any reason. Aetna members should use telemedicine as their first line of defense in order to limit potential exposure in physician offices. Cost sharing will be waived for all virtual visits through Aetna-covered Teladoc® offerings and in-network providers delivering synchronous virtual care (live videoconferencing) for all Commercial plan designs. Self-insured plan sponsors will be able to opt-out of this program at their discretion.
CVS Pharmacy will waive charges for home delivery of prescription medications. With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraging people at higher risk for COVID-19 complications to stay at home as much as possible, this is a convenient option to avoid coming to the pharmacy for refills or new prescriptions.
Aetna will now offer 90-day maintenance medication prescriptions for Commercial and Medicare members and is working with state governments to make the same option available to Medicaid members where allowable. Self-insured plan sponsors will be able to opt-out of this program at their discretion.
Aetna will waive early refill limits on 30-day prescription maintenance medications for all members with pharmacy benefits administered through CVS Caremark. Self-insured plan sponsors will be able to opt-out of this program at their discretion.
Through Aetna's Healing Better program, members who are diagnosed with COVID-19 will receive a care package containing CVS over-the-counter medications to help relieve symptoms. The package will also include personal and household cleaning supplies to help keep others in the home protected from potential exposure.
Through existing care management programs, Aetna will proactively reach out to members most at-risk for COVID-19. Care managers will walk members through what they can do to protect themselves, where to get information on the virus, and where to go to get tested.
Aetna is also offering its Medicare Advantage brief virtual check-in and remote evaluation benefits to all Aetna Commercial members and waiving the co-pay. These offerings will empower members with questions or concerns that are unrelated to a recent office visit and do not need immediate in-person follow-up to engage with providers without the concern of sitting in a physician’s office and risking potential exposure to COVID-19.

CVS Health is also implementing the following programs to educate members about COVID-19 and help address any associated anxiety and stress:

Opening Crisis Response Lines for all Aetna (Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid) and Caremark members who may be experiencing anxiety related to COVID-19.
Expanding 24x7 access to the Aetna Nurse Medical Line for all Aetna and Caremark members.
Providing Aetna plan sponsors with a Resources for Living toolkit with materials specifically developed for members experiencing anxiety related to COVID-19.

Containing the spread of this epidemic and equipping members with the information they need is a top priority we all share. Aetna has taken these actions in support of this objective, recognizing the need to act quickly. At the same time, it is important to us to work closely with you as a partner to bring the right solutions to our mutual customers as this very fluid situation evolves.

Aetna - What you need to know: SEP for non-renewing plans

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Wed, Dec 18, 2019 @ 02:54 PM

Help members of non-renewing plans enroll in a
new Aetna Medicare plan before December 31

Review guidelines for the Special Election Period available to
beneficiaries affected by a plan or contract non-renewal

Don’t forget, members of non-renewing plans are eligible for a Special Election Period that begins December 8 and ends February 29, 2020. This means, if the affected members didn’t enroll in a new plan during AEP, they have additional time to choose a new plan. Just keep in mind that waiting to enroll can impact the coverage these members have starting January 1.

Here's what you need to know

Members of non-renewing plans must elect a new plan option before December 31, or their coverage will revert to Original Medicare starting January 1. If the member is currently on an MAPD plan, they will lose their drug coverage.
If they join a new Medicare plan before December 31, their new coverage will begin on January 1, 2020. If they wait until after December 31, their new coverage won’t start until the month after they join. This means that the member will be on Original Medicare which does not include drug coverage until the new plan takes effect.
To avoid any lapse in coverage, members should be encouraged to elect new plans by December 31.

Resources to assist you

For more information, download a playbook for transitioning members to new plans. You can also visit the Aetna Medicare Marketing Studio for materials that can help you help members of terminating plans choose a new MA/MAPD plan this AEP. After logging in, select the Member Retention section.

Don’t forget, our Agent of Record (AOR) retention policy protects your relationship with members. Regardless of how members enroll in a new Aetna plan– whether by mail or fax, by going online, or by phone – the original Agent of Record will be maintained.

Enrollment options for members of non-renewing plans

There are 3 easy ways members can enroll in a new Aetna plan.

Online by visiting TakeAction.AetnaMedicare.com.
By mail or fax.
By phone. Members of non-renewing plans in OK, TX and GA can also call a dedicated Aetna Broker Enrollment Support line: 1-800-972-3670 (TTY: 711). Or, you can use this phone number to warm transfer members to a customer service agent who will complete the enrollment application over the phone. Please make sure members have the following information when you transfer them to the enrollment support line:

Plan name
Plan premium
Plan contract number (including PBP)
OSB name

OSB premium
PCP name and/or ID
Member ID name
The Medicare ID number

Please note: If your clients enroll in a new MA/MAPD plan through one of the alternative enrollment channels (telephonically, online, or by submitting a paper application on their own), depending on CMS processing time, it usually takes about 2 weeks for them to appear in Producer World reports. Rest assured, we have multiple processes in place to ensure the original AOR is maintained, even though it may take slightly longer for these enrollments to show up in your reports.

Aetna is the brand name used for products and services provided by one or more of the Aetna group of subsidiary companies, including Aetna Life Insurance and its affiliates (Aetna).

Prior to engaging in the sale of Aetna Medicare products, producers must be ready to sell, which means certified, contracted, licensed in the applicable states, and appointed by Aetna in accordance with state law. As permitted in certain states, Aetna will order appointments after the first sale.

Medicare Advantage Enrollment Grows 8% Year-Over-Year

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Fri, Oct 11, 2019 @ 01:03 PM

Medicare Advantage Enrollment Grows
8% Year-Over-Year

Gains Concentrated Among Major Players

Medicare Advantage enrollment grew 8.0% from September 2018 to September 2019, according to AIS’s Directory of Health Plans (see a complete month-by-month timeline below), continuing a trend of greater MA gains as more baby boomers, seeking more personalized benefits, age into Medicare. In advance of the Annual Election Period (AEP) starting on Oct. 15, CMS on Sept. 24 said it expects MA enrollment to reach new highs in 2020, growing about 10% to 24.4 million lives.

Growth this past year was concentrated among the largest payers in the MA space, with the top five experiencing enrollment gains of about 16% on average year over year (see breakdown below). The big winner was Aetna Inc., which took on its largest-ever MA expansion in 2019, adding its offerings to more than 350 new counties.

While still on top, market leader UnitedHealthcare’s post-AEP gains were smaller than the 400,000 to 450,000 members (excluding dual eligible Special Needs Plans) the company anticipated, instead adding only about 290,000 lives.

NOTE: All enrollment totals include dual eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) except where noted. AIS defines post-AEP enrollment as total MA membership as of February 2019.

The Mad Rush To Sell Private Medicare Plans To Seniors

Posted by www.psmbrokerage.com Admin on Thu, Oct 10, 2019 @ 04:13 PM

The Mad Rush to Sell Private Medicare Plans to Seniors

The Mad Rush To Sell Private Medicare Plans To Seniors

Health insurers across the U.S. will race to enroll more seniors in lucrative government-backed Medicare plans this month, even as a roiling debate over the role of private companies in health coverage shapes the presidential race.

The plans, known as Medicare Advantage, are the private-sector, taxpayer-financed alternative to traditional Medicare. Selling them has become a crucial profit center for the insurance industry: Baby Boomers are aging into the program, propelling its growth, while at the same time health insurance products sold to people under 65 are facing pressure from all sides.

The private plans also sit squarely in the middle of the race for the presidency: Some candidates for the Democratic nomination, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have backed a proposal to do away with private health insurance across all markets. Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at bolstering Medicare Advantage, and said Democrats would upend the program.

In 2019, about 22 million people, or roughly a third of all Medicare enrollees, got their Medicare coverage through the private plans. For each person who signs up, the insurers collect a fee from the government. It was $11,545 on average this year, which adds up to about $254 billion. The Medicare Advantage enrollment period opens Oct. 15.

Insurers see it as a lucrative market they can’t afford to pass by. Medicare products are the biggest business at the biggest health insurance company, UnitedHealth Group Inc.’s insurance unit. Centene Corp. agreed to pay $15 billion this year for WellCare Health Plans Inc. in part to get access to the company’s large Medicare business. Startups like Clover Health, which has raised more than $900 million from investors including GV, Alphabet Inc.’s venture capital arm, are targeting Medicare customers with new technologies intended to deliver care more efficiently.

UnitedHealthcare will sell Medicare coverage in 100 new counties in 2020, reaching 90% of the eligible market. Humana Inc., which specializes in Medicare Advantage, will expand to 29 new counties. Humana Chief Executive Officer Bruce Broussard told investors in July that membership was growing at the fastest pace in a decade, and the company expects to add half a million members this year. Cigna Corp., which has a comparatively smaller Medicare business, is expanding to 37 new counties next year and projecting 10% to 15% average annual membership growth through 2025. CVS Health Corp.'s Aetna unit is expanding to 264 new counties in 2020.

Medicare is especially critical to insurers as their traditional business selling health plans to employers and individuals slows. A smaller percentage of the U.S. workforce is enrolled in employer coverage than two decades ago, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health research group, as the cost of those benefits rises faster than workers’ earnings.

“We all know that 11,000 Americans turn age 65 every day and then the percent of those that choose” Medicare Advantage is accelerating, Anthem Inc. Chief Financial Officer John Gallina said at a conference in June. He called it “a huge opportunity that we’ve missed in the past, that we now need to capitalize on.”

Anthem’s Medicare Advantage membership grew by 25% in the 12 months ending June 2019, far faster than any other category. Anthem is expanding to 77 new counties in 2020.

Seniors in traditional Medicare can go to any doctor or hospital that participates, as most do. Those who choose Medicare Advantage plans trade that freedom of choice for an insurance company’s more limited network. In exchange, they get extra benefits. Medicare Advantage policies often wrap in prescription-drug plans, vision and dental care. Many offer free gym memberships or fitness programs. They also cap members’ total out-of-pocket costs. In traditional Medicare, seniors have to buy policies known as Medicare supplement or Medigap plans to limit their out-of-pocket expenses.

Starting in 2019, a federal rule change permitted Medicare Advantage plans to offer other perks like transportation and meal delivery. The goal is to address so-called social determinants of health, the many non-medical aspects of people’s lives that affect their well-being. Plans will offer a greater variety of those benefits in 2020.

Some Cigna plans in Texas will pay for air conditioners for the first time next year. Anthem will offer pest-control services, because vermin can affect chronic health conditions such as asthma. Carriers are also testing benefits like adult day care; home safety improvements, like grab bars, to prevent falls; and in-home help for people who need assistance bathing or dressing.

“We actually find a lot of beneficiaries are living in environments that really need support and help,” said Martin Esquivel, vice president of Medicare product management at Anthem.

Medicare doesn’t provide those things in its traditional fee-for-service program, partly because of the risk of inappropriate payments or fraud. In Medicare Advantage, the government’s payment to plans is limited, so that risk is managed by the plans.

The growth of Medicare Advantage shows demand for private managed-care plans exists even when seniors have a purely public option. “No one’s forcing them to do this,” said Dan Mendelson, founder of consultant Avalere Health and a partner at private equity firm Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe. Seniors are increasingly comfortable giving up some choice of doctors in exchange for Medicare Advantage’s perks, he said. “It’s the choice that makes it really remarkable, that seniors are choosing this.”

While two-thirds of Medicare enrollees choose to stick with the original program, that share is declining. Mendelson said Medicare Advantage enrollment has grown by 8% annually in recent years. At that pace, more than half of Medicare members will be in private plans by 2025, he estimates.

Many people can get Medicare Advantage for no additional premium beyond what they pay for traditional Medicare. The average monthly premium for Medicare Advantage is $23 in 2020, down from $26.87 the prior year, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It’s at the lowest level since 2007.

Plans have historically been paid generously. A decade ago, Medicare paid private plans 14% more than it would have spent for the same beneficiaries in the traditional program, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, known as MedPAC, which counsels Congress on Medicare policy. That helped finance additional benefits that enrollees found attractive, but it raised the program’s costs and put little pressure on plans to deliver more efficient care. The 2010 Affordable Care Act lowered those payments. They’re now about 1% above traditional Medicare payments, according to MedPAC.

People who choose to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans also typically have lower health spending before they enroll, compared with similar people in traditional Medicare, according to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. That means the way payments are set “may systematically overestimate expected costs of Medicare Advantage enrollees,” the Kaiser researchers wrote. Plans have been also faulted by government watchdogs for improperly denying care.

Medicare Advantage plans pay about 86% of their premium revenue out in medical claims, a similar proportion to other health insurance products, according to a separate Kaiser Family Foundation report. But the opportunity to profit is higher. Partly because Medicare beneficiaries use more medical care than younger people, there’s more money at stake for each member. Gross margins in Medicare Advantage – the difference between premiums collected and claims paid, before counting administrative costs – are about $1,600 per enrollee, roughly double the value in commercial plans, according to Kaiser’s analysis.

“This appears to be a fairly profitable market,” said Tricia Neuman, director of the Kaiser Family Foundation’s program on Medicare policy. The group sees more carriers enter the market than exit each year. “If it weren’t profitable, they wouldn’t be doing it,” Neuman said.

Big Winners
The market for Medicare Advantage plans has become increasingly concentrated. In 2018, the top four Medicare organizations had 59% of enrollment, up from 46% in 2011, according to MedPAC. And while it may seem like an attractive market, it’s difficult for new competitors to enter.

“We had no idea how hard it would be, how long it would take, the infrastructure we’d have to develop,” said Vivek Garipalli, chief executive officer of Clover Health. The company has about 42,000 members, mostly in New Jersey.

Other new technology-focused insurers are trying to break into the market. Oscar Health announced its first Medicare plans this year. Startup Devoted Health, which is led by former Obama administration officials, raised $360 million to launch its Medicare Advantage plans in 2019.

Those companies are betting that technology can deliver better care more efficiently, by using data to help physicians manage patients with chronic conditions, for example. Medicare Advantage is an ideal proving ground to test that idea, because plans make money if they can deliver savings without compromising quality.

“Health care has effectively had zero productivity gains over the last 20 years,” said Bob Kocher, a partner at venture firm Venrock. The firm backed Devoted Health and Kocher served as the company’s chief medical officer for a year. “There should be a lot of pent-up opportunity here to apply technology to make health care much more productive, and that would also make health care more affordable.”
