Care Improvement Plus - Commissions News

 

Please note that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) maximum compensation rates increased for 2013. Additionally, the Care Improvement Plus Medicare Advantage plan (MA-PD) commission has been raised for 2013 to be commensurate with Care Improvement Plus Special Needs Plans (SNPs) and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage as a whole. Please review your UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company Agent or Agency Agreement, and 2013 Medicare Advantage (MA) and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) commission schedule for the commission rates that will be paid for sales of plans with 2013 effective dates.

  3. The transaction level detail will continue to be available on the Care Improvement Plus portal at https://xl.acteksoft.com/ACom3XL/
