To be eligible to join a WellCare PDP, you must be eligible for Medicare Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B. You must also live in the WellCare service area.

There are certain cases in which you would not need to enroll in a PDP:

Example 1:  If you are enrolled in an MA PFFS plan that includes Medicare prescription drugs or any MA coordinated care (HMO or PPO) plan, you will be automatically disenrolled from the HMO, PPO or MA PFFS plan if you enroll in a PDP.

Example 2:  If you have medical coverage through the VA or TriCare, your plan probably already offers drug savings, so you may not benefit from a PDP.

Example 3:  If you are enrolled in an employer plan with comparable benefits or a Medicare supplement plan with drug coverage, your coverage under those plans could change if you join a PDP. Please contact your benefits administrator or plan representative for coverage details.

What if you belong to another plan?
If you are enrolled in a private-fee-for-service plan (PFFS) that does not include Medicare prescription drug coverage, an MA Medicare Savings Account (MSA) plan or an 1876 Cost plan, you may enroll in a PDP and will not be automatically disenrolled from the PFFS, MSA or 1876 Cost plan.
