WellCare takes its responsibilities to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Medicare beneficiaries very seriously.

Accordingly, compliance with CMS's Medicare Marketing Guidelines and the respectful and ethical treatment of Medicare beneficiaries are of paramount importance to WellCare.

Therefore, you should know that WellCare has adopted a zero tolerance policy for Medicare Marketing Guideline violations and inappropriate marketing practices.

In the link below, you will find a list of actions that WellCare considers cause for termination of its agreements with marketing representatives.

This list of actions is not exhaustive and other acts or omissions by marketing representatives may be cause for termination of a marketing agreement with WellCare.

Please note that the failure of your subcontractors (e.g., agents, telemarketers, etc.) to comply with the Medicare Marketing Guidelines and appropriate sales practices may also be cause for termination of your agreement with WellCare.

We encourage you to review your contract with WellCare and related training materials to ensure your current marketing practices are appropriate and compliant.

In closing, we wish to thank you for your ongoing compliance efforts and for helping contribute to the continued success of WellCare's Medicare products.

Respectfully,

KAL
