UPDATES FROM FALLON HEALTH - July 2024

We're on summer time!

The recent heat waves have really jumpstarted the summer, haven't they? They certainly put my cravings for ice cream and days at the beach into high gear.


I've also been remembering how it felt to be a kid with nearly 2 glorious months of time off. To be able to swim, play games, and visit waterparks ... talk about Hot Fun in the Summertime! (This iconic Sly and the Family Stone song turns 55 this month, by the way.) What's also great for Fallon Health this summer is that on July 1, we welcomed Manny Lopes as our new president and CEO.


I hope you have lots of great plans for July and August. And I hope you're keeping Medicare’s upcoming Annual Election Period (AEP) in mind. As always, we recommend that you prepare as early as possible. Below you’ll find some handy information and materials that will help you be ready to sell on Oct. 15. 


Should you have any questions, Broker Relationship Manager Nicolette Allsopp can help. You can contact her directly at Nicolette.Allsopp@fallonhealth.org and 1-774-437-2614. Or you can contact our Broker Relations team at 1-844-848-4931 (TRS 711), Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., or at MedicareSalesBrokers@fallonhealth.org


Sincerely,

Deb Daviau

VP of Medicare and Executive Director of NaviCare

AHIP certification—now is the time!

If you need your AHIP certification (or recertification), there's no time like the present. This certification is a must for selling Medicare Advantage plans—and online training for the 2025 plan year began on June 24. Having it in hand now means you’re one step closer to being ready to sell when AEP begins on Oct. 15.

CMS final rule for 2025

On April 4, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its 2025 Medicare Advantage and Part D final rule. The final rule addresses regulatory changes to various programmatic areas, including marketing and communications.


Because you’re our trusted partners, we expect that you’re up to date on the regulations included in the final rule. An overview of the final rule is in this online CMS fact sheet. Broker-specific information is under the heading titled "Protecting Beneficiaries: Marketing Requirements."
