Commonwealth Care Alliance’s Post

Sarah, will you address why Wellcare starting Jan 1 2025 is abandoning thousands of agents and brokers that have serviced and assisted Wellcare members all these years? Cutting off independent agents and agencies nationwide in 2025 will result in massive disruption to those Wellcare members currently enrolled in Part D plans. It is not fair to Seniors who rely on their local broker to guide them and assist them. It is not fair to the brokers who work hard to help them and will now be forced to turn away those same Seniors and inform them they are "on their own" for service and support. Pulling the rug out from your agent and broker community has sent shockwaves through the industry. You really should talk with Wellcare's CEO Michael Carson and direct him to retract the recent decision to eliminate all compensation for agents and brokers on part D plans, including new AND renewal policies. Is it worth alienating the massive broker community to save the company a few bucks (less than $5 per member per month)?

The American Hospital Association defines community health as "non-clinical approaches for improving health, preventing disease and reducing health disparities." This Community Health Improvement Week, we are bringing awareness to those whose work helps foster community health and wellbeing. Increasingly, community health agencies are dedicated to addressing social determinants of health, which can be summed up as "where we live, work and play," and how they can affect anyone, regardless of age, race or ethnicity. 💡 With strong knowledge of social determinants, providers can screen for social needs and guide individuals to both clinical and non-clinical resources for improving overall wellbeing, such as therapy or housing.

Good health only happens if there are good working conditions. For maximum lives saved, CHWs must be salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. In most places, they’re not.

Is the general approach to continence care influenced by societal views about getting old? Where are the knowledge and practice gaps? What would a training resource look like to support best practice and outcomes in this space? Yep, we're having some interesting conversations about what is going on out there. If you are a provider of in home care, we would love to chat with you about what a effective continence training resource might look like. Don't be shy, talk to us :) [email protected] or 041 425 634 #continence #independence #knowledge #options #physio #strenghtening
