8 HOW TO SUBMIT AN HCG SALES EVENT ON WITH THE SHOW Health Choice Generations recognizes and encourages agents to be out in the community and to submit their formal and informal sales events. Recent changes to the Medicare Marketing Guidelines have provided health plans, like Health Choice Generations, the opportunity to stop sending event request approvals to CMS. Although this is good news, CMS still requires that we track and approve all events in a timely fashion and be prepared to present CMS, at any time, with that data. Regardless of the changes, the current policy will still apply for all event requests: FORMAL SALES EVENTS: Formal sales events MUST be approved by the respective FMO and HCG Sales Leadership. You may be asked to Try-Out to present formal sales seminars. Be prepared to present a demonstration of a full presentation to HCG Sales Leadership to become an approved presenter. Do not assume you are approved without written consent from HCG Sales Leadership. If approved, ALL Formal Sales Events MUST be submitted to the HCG Broker Service Specialist within 10 BUSINESS DAYS of the event. If not submitted within the required time frame, the event may not be approved. IN-FORMAL SALES EVENTS: In-Formal Sales events are less formal and less structured events that typically utilize a table or booth with a sales person. ALL informal Sales Events MUST be submitted to the agents respective FMO HCG Broker Service Specialist within 10 BUSINESS DAYS of the event. If not submitted within the required time frame, the event may not be approved. WAIT for approval before marketing or conducting your sales event! You will receive a confirmation from a member of the Broker Support Sales team confirming the receipt and approval of your sales event. 8 HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS 2018 BROKER GUIDE

11 2017 HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS AGENT PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS & COMPENSATION All broker/agent compensation is defined by CMS. Although much of the compensation regulation is the same across all carriers, there are various ways carriers may choose to pay brokers. This is why you may see differences across all carriers. Let s first take a look at this year s Commission Rates and explore the different types of enrollments as defined by CMS: 2018 HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS COMMISSION RATES 2018 First Year Subsequent Years ( Renewal Rate ) - Lifetimes Plan Type - MA & MAPD State $ Amount State $ Amount Initial Sale Arizona $227 + $228 prorated + Arizona $19.00 pmpm ($228 annually) Unlike Plan Type Change Arizona $455 prorated + Arizona $19.00 pmpm ($228 annually) Like Plan Type Change Arizona $228 prorated + Arizona $19.00 pmpm ($228 annually) Continuous Coverage Lifetime renewals paid pursuant to renewal rate per compensation schedule pmpm=per month per month. 1 prorated for the months that the policy is in force during the enrollment year Health Choice uses a monthly report from CMS to determine if a sale is an Initial Sale, Unlike Plan Type Change, or Like Plan Type Change. The following definitions apply to these commission payments and plan types: 1. INITIAL SALE A sale is considered an Initial Sale if the member is aging-in, is new to Medicare, moves from an employer group, or enrolls from Original Medicare. The Broker will be paid the Initial Sale Rate regardless of the enrollment effective date or month. For a beneficiary s first year of enrollment, Health Choice will pay $227 + a pro-rated amount of $228 ( Renewal Rate ) based on when the beneficiary enrolled. 2. UNLIKE PLAN TYPE CHANGE A Plan is considered an Unlike Plan Type Change if a member moves from MA or MAPD to PDP only, or moves from PDP only to MA or MAPD. The Broker is paid a prorated amount of the full Initial Sale Rate for the months that the policy is in force during the enrollment year. (For example, a change from a PDP to an MAPD effective May 1st is an unlike plan change resulting in a pro-rated initial compensation of 8/12 (May thru December) of the MAPD initial compensation rate). 3. LIKE PLAN TYPE CHANGE The sale is considered a Like Plan Type Change if the member makes any of the following changes: An MAPD to another MA or MAPD or anything else NOT considered an Unlike Plan Type Change. For example, if the member is moving from a MA or MAPD to another MA or MAPD, then the sale is considered a Like Plan Type Change and will receive a prorated commission based upon the # of months that the policy is in force during the enrollment year. 11 HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS 2018 BROKER GUIDE

Now let s take a look and see EXACTLY what you will get paid based on the Plan Type and the Effective date: HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS COMMISSION RATES BASED ON PLAN TYPE 2018 Broker Commission Rates Based on Plan Type Effective Date Months Enrolled Initial Sale Calculation Initial Year Sale Unlike Plan Type Calculation Unlike Plan Type Change Like Plan Type Change Jan of 12 $ (0 x $37.92) $ $ Feb of 12 $ (1 x $37.92) $ $ Mar.1 10 of 12 $ (2 x $37.92) $ $ April 1 9 of 12 $ (3 x $37.92) $ $ May 1 8 of 12 $ (4 x $37.92) $ $ June 1 7 of 12 $ (5 x $37.92) $ $ July 1 6 of 12 $ (6 x $37.92) $ $ Aug. 1 5 of 12 $ (7 x $37.92) $ $95.00 Sept. 1 4 of 12 $ (8 x $37.92) $ $76.00 October 1 3 of 12 $ (9 x $37.92) $ $57.00 Nov. 1 2 of 12 $ (10 x $37.92) $75.83 $38.00 Dec. 1 1 of 12 $ (11 x $37.92) $37.92 $ HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS 2018 BROKER GUIDE

13 PRODUCTION STANDARDS & COMPENSATION LET S MAKE THIS EASY! - Continued Also - To ease the burden and confusion on where your checks come from, Health Choice Generations pays our brokers and FMO partners direct. Subagency principal overrides are paid by their respective FMO. Looks Great Right?! Once again we love working with you and helping you grow your business. We hold our brokers to a high standard. That standard includes being 100% compliant, remaining in good standing with Health Choice Generations and the Arizona Department of Insurance (DOI). This includes using the Health Choice Generations Sales Presentation and approved marketing materials for all Sales Appointments. In order to remain in good standing with Health Choice Generations, you are required to meet the following expectations each year: PRODUCTION STANDARD & VESTED RENEWALS: Each broker must meet a minimum production standard of at least one enrollment within an 18 month rolling period. Earned renewals after the first year are vested, and will be paid to the broker until the member is no longer active with Health Choice Generations (i.e. deceased, plan change, AOR change, etc.). If an appointed broker does not meet the minimum production standard within a rolling 18 month period, the broker will be terminated for no production and considered inactive. The terminated/inactive broker would have to recontract, recertify and attend a mandatory New Agent Certification meeting in order be active to represent Health Choice Generations. All brokers seeking reappointment are subject to review and approval by the local Sales Director. As long as the broker is not terminated for cause, the broker will maintain their annual renewal payments for each consecutively enrolled active member. All active and/or non-renewing brokers may lose their renewal payments by: (1.) becoming terminated for cause, (2.) not passing the recertification exam with Health Choice Generations (3.) not certifying with or passing the AHIP examination (4.) not attending the Mandatory recertification Rollout meeting, (4.) not turning in all necessary certification paperwork (AHIP, HCG certification test) before the Nov 30th deadline. 13 HEALTH CHOICE GENERATIONS 2018 BROKER GUIDE

14 PRODUCTION STANDARDS & COMPENSATION LET S MAKE THIS EASY! - Continued Here are some further details to consider while working as a Broker Partner for Health Choice Generations: Health Choice Generations Brokers will receive Lifetime Renewals on active enrollments during the next calendar year.

No claim, demand, legal action or litigation against Health Choice may be brought by the External Broker, Agency Owner or FMO regarding a respective sale, policy or enrollment unless made within twelve (12) months from the date Broker first disputes the compensation. Agent of Record (AOR) Change: All AOR written requests must be done by an existing HCG member and submitted to HCG Sales leadership for review and approval.

15 PRODUCTION STANDARDS & COMPENSATION LET S MAKE THIS EASY! - Continued Chargebacks: Rapid disenrollments and Longterm disenrollments are the most common type of chargeback that may occur. Rapid Disenrollments: This chargeback will occur when an enrollee moves from a Health Choice Generations (HCG) MAPD to another health plan within the first three months of enrollment. A full chargeback will be taken from the Broker when a Rapid disenrollment occurs. Chargebacks will be charged against future commissions and/or renewals that would otherwise be payable to the Broker. A Rapid Disenrollment DOES NOT apply in the following situation(s): When a beneficiary enrolls in a plan effective October 1st, November 1st, or December 1st and subsequently changes plans effective January 1st of the following year during the Annual Election Period (AEP) Member qualifies for other creditable coverage Moving into or out of an institution Gains or drops employer or union sponsored coverage Enrollee is disenrolled because of a CMS sanction against Health Choice Enrollee is disenrolled because of plan terminations or non-renewal in order to coordinate with Part D enrollment periods In order to coordinate with a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program Enrollee becomes dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid Enrollee becomes eligible to enroll in another plan based on special needs/chronic condition Enrollee disenrolls due to auto or facilitated enrollment (as defined under Applicable Law) Enrollee dies Moves out of the service area Non-payment of premium Loses entitlement to Medicare Enrollee disenrolls due to a retroactive notice of Medicare entitlement When moving to a plan with a 5-Star rating or from a Low Performing Plan (LPI) to a higher rated plan Long term disenrollments: Members enrolled through a Broker who voluntarily or involuntarily disenroll from Health Choice before the end of the initial plan year and are not considered rapid disenrollments as described above, are considered long term disenrollments and will result in a pro-rated charge-back of previously paid commissions equal to those months the member was not enrolled on the plan (example: effective 2/1 and disenroll effective 6/30 results in 7 months charge-back). Chargebacks will be charged against future commission and/or renewal payments. The pro-rated charge-back rule applies to all years of plan membership by the member. Renewals: Renewals are paid beginning on the next calendar year of an enrollees original enrollment effective date. Renewals are paid on a per-member per-month (pmpm) basis of $19.00 pmpm. If an enrollee disenrolls during their renewal year, the renewal payment will cease the month the disenrollment occurs.
