Technology Tip – Social Engineering Red Flag: Email Body
The prevalence of phishing scams is at an all-time high. Because you are the key to preventing a cyberattack within your organization, it is important to question the legitimacy of every email you receive. Below is a list of questions to ask yourself about the content and body of the email that may help you realize that you are being phished.
Review the content of the email.
If you notice anything about the email that alarms you, do not click links, open attachments, or reply. You are the last line of defense to prevent cyber criminals from succeeding and making you or your company susceptible to phishing attacks.
Let’s stay safe out there!

By Lori Flees, SVP and COO, Walmart U.S. Health & Wellness
Health care can be complicated. But we think quality health care should be within reach of everyone, and pricing should be transparent and affordable. Our money-saving $4 generic prescription program and, more recently, Walmart Health locations are helping customers save money and live healthier. Similarly, our Healthcare Begins Here program has helped customers navigate the very complex health insurance system for years.
MedicareCENTER is a powerful sales and marketing system that’s also simple and easy to use. And it’s full of great features designed to help Agents like you produce more, including:
Important: MedicareAPP and MedicareLINK
Effective October 1, 2020: Agents are able to view plans and rates from available carriers for which the agent is ‘Ready-to-Sell’
Effective October 15, 2020: Agents are able to view plans and rates from all available carriers.
Reminder: Update your bookmarks and favorites on your web browsers to the new 2021 MedicareCENTER site AND get your new unique Personal Shopping Link under the ‘Account Overview’ inside MedicareAPP to add to your website or any digital media.

WellCare Message from 10/2/2020:
AEP is Here! AEP is finally here, and the combination of Centene and WellCare means greater opportunity for you!
Now, you can market and sell up to 5 health plans!
Note: Not all health plans are available in all areas. The easiest and fastest way to ensure that you are offering all plans available in your area and you are credited for each sale is to use the Ascend Enrollment Platform. (Currently, Ascend cannot be used for Fidelis Care enrollments.) Application and Enrollment Broker Identifier: It is crucial that all applications include the correct agent identifier. Ascend will automatically attach your agent identifier to each application you submit: National Producer Number (NPN), Producer ID (PID), or Fidelis Care ID. When submitting applications OUTSIDE of the Ascend Enrollment Platform, be sure to input the correct agent identifier: *Fidelis Care Notes:
Fidelis Care does not accept paper applications. Ascend: All health plan information has been loaded into Ascend. Please note, 2021 Enrollment Applications will not be accessible until 10/15. As of 10/1 you should be able to access 2021 rates and benefits in the Ascend Mobile App. If you are not able to access 2021 plan information, please be sure to update the App. Click here for information on how to download and update the Ascend Mobile App. Warning! Beginning 10/1/2020, the WellCare Mobile Enrollment Platform and Desktop Enrollment Platform (agent assisted) will be retired and no longer accessible. You will find our 2021 plans, benefits, rates and enrollment capabilities in Ascend.

Effective October 1, 2020, our commission payment process will be transitioned to our parent company’s (DentaQuest) payment system.

PLEASE NOTE THIS DOES NOT IMPACT THE CURRENT COMMISSION RATES/SCHEDULES.
For those of you who currently receive commission payments via paper check: your September commission check (paid in October) will be mailed from DentaQuest’s corporate office in Boston and will be branded with the DentaQuest logo.
If you are interested in receiving future payments electronically, please fill out this form and follow the submission instructions on the form. If you have questions, please direct them to Vicki Bratton at vbratton@dentalcareplus.com.
