You probably received the email below sometime in the last few weeks. A new combined Centene contract is required to be completed by all WellCare contracted agents!

  1. Deadline to complete: September 30, 2020
  2. 2021 Certifications: WellCare University is NO longer available. The new Centene and WellCare combined training site launch July 7, 2020. You should have received an individual email letting you know!
  3. Additional notes:
    1. AHIP will have a black out period as well in order to move to 2021 AHIP.  Our blackout typically coincides with AHIPs.
    2.  If you weren’t certified prior to the blackout, you’ll need to complete and transmit 2021 AHIP, in addition to completing 2021 ACT for the training to be considered complete.
    3. 2021 Training completion will enable an agent to market/sell both 2020 and 2021 plans.
    4. Agents that are currently certified will need to complete the 2021 training requirement prior to September 30, 2020 in order to remain certified effective October 1, 2020.
