Your November Update

We want to make it easier for you to provide CarePartners of Connecticut as a solution to your clients. To help support your hard work, here is what we thought you should know this month:

Finishing strong this AEP
With less than a month left in this year’s AEP, we wanted to take a minute to thank you for everything you have done to help make it a success. It’s because of your hard work that we look forward to a strong finish in the final weeks of AEP. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We’re here to help you get the information and materials you need to promote our plans to your clients.

We continue to pay commissions
The recent announcement from several insurance companies to cease paying commissions on new business has undoubtedly created a sense of uncertainty within our industry. CarePartners of Connecticut believes in the importance of your work and the relationships you build with clients and will continue to pay broker commissions.

Exciting news! We have signed an agreement with Southern New England Healthcare to begin 1/1/25. This partnership will help expand our network to reach more of your clients. SoNE has 450 providers, with approximately 400 in CT and 50 in MA.
