Enrolling in Wellcare plans
The process for enrolling Wellcare plans is unique from all of our other carriers – instead of using our standard enrollment flow, we use a streamlined and secure digital fax submission.
This isn’t a paper fax – your enrollment is submitted electronically, directly to Wellcare's digital inbox, processed just like any other application would be.
How it works:
You fill our streamlined, simple Wellcare enrollment form
You're emailed a totally filled-out Wellcare PDF application
You sign the PDF
The client signs the PDF
Then it submits the PDF to Wellcare's digital fax "paper app" inbox.
Which plans can I enroll?
You can enroll in the main plans for Wellcare. We'll add more plan types soon.
| 2026 plan year |
MAPD | ✅ |
MA | ✅ |
Part D | ✅ |
D-SNP | ✅ |
C-SNP | Coming soon |
Exclusions | A few regional Wellcare MAPD plans are excluded. |
Getting set up
Before you start:
Go to your Carriers page.
Add both Centene and Wellcare.
When asked for your Writing Number, enter your NPN.
Enrollment process
Step 1: Start the enrollment
From our quoting tool, click Enroll on a WellCare non-SNP MAPD plan.
You'll land on our HealthSherpa designed Wellcare enrollment form.
Fill out and submit the form.
You’ll land on a Review page – but you're not done yet, so keep your client on the phone – they’ll need to sign right after you sign.
Step 2: Agent signature
Check your email for a message from Dropbox Sign (it's similar to DocuSign):
Click the big blue “Review & Sign” button.
This will bring you to a PDF of Wellcare's paper application, automatically filled out with all of the information you entered on our enrollment form:
Follow these steps:
(Optional) Review the PDF for accuracy.
Click “Get Started” (top right).
Click “Next”, then draw or type your signature.
Select “Insert Everywhere.”
Click “Continue”, then “I Agree.”
Your part is done – now the client will receive the link to sign.
Step 3: Client signature
Your client will receive an email and/or text message from Dropbox Sign within a few seconds. They should click the Review & Sign button in the email, or the link in the text message.
They'll land on the same filled out paper app PDF that you saw:
They should follow these steps:
Click the "Get Started" button in the top right
Click "Click to sign" and add their signature
Click the “Continue" button in the top right
Finally, they’ll click the “I Agree" button in the top right
✅ Then, the form is automatically sent to WellCare.
It will be processed and appear on your Wellcare broker portal in 3–5 business days.
Step 4: Confirmation
Both you and your client will receive an “Everyone has signed” email (or text message) from Dropbox Sign
This includes a link to the signed paper app PDF for your records.
You can also access this PDF anytime from their Contact Profile, see below.
CRM tracking
Ideally, you can stay with the client until they've completed signing, but if not, you can always track the Status of the application on the client's enrollment record:
Here's how the Status updates:
When you submit the form, it shows: Pending agent signature
After you sign, it shows: Pending client signature
When the client signs, it shows: Fax submitted
This means it was sent off to Wellcare
About 10 minutes later it shows: Submitted
This means delivery was validated.
At any time, you can click the "View application" link on the enrollment record to download the paper app PDF.
Email bounced
If you see an Email Bounced status, this means the client signature email couldn’t be delivered – usually because their email was misspelled. Since the client never received or signed it, this enrollment wasn’t submitted.
How to fix it
How to fix it
Go to the client’s profile and correct their email address.
Click “Shop for [name]” (top right) to get back into their quote
Press Enroll on the same plan.
Complete the enrollment as normal: submit the form, then you sign, then the client signs.
This will create a new enrollment record using the updated email. You can then archive the old one on their Contact Profile.
Resubmissions
If you need to resubmit a Wellcare application for a client, just start a new one: open their quote, click Enroll on the plan, complete the form, and submit. The latest submission automatically replaces any previous applications for that client.
Important: Ready-to-sell
Our Wellcare process does not use Ready-to-sell (RTS) checks to gate access to enrollment forms like all of our other carriers do.
We do use NIPR checks to validate your state licensure before allowing you into an enrollment form. But it's your responsibility to ensure that you're appointed with Wellcare and have the proper certifications for the particular plan you're enrolling in.
Not sure of your Wellcare RTS status? See our guide showing how to check your RTS status in the Wellcare broker portal. Or ask your upline.
FAQ
I'm seeing an error on the Dropbox Sign PDF form
This can usually be solved just by refreshing the page.
What is Dropbox Sign?
This is a HIPAA-compliant tool for signing documents online, like DocuSign.
Why does Dropbox Sign say "This signature request has been closed"
This usually means you've already signed the document. If you haven't, go back to your email from Dropbox Sign, and click the "Review & Sign" button again
When will Wellcare receive the enrollment?
It takes 5 to 7 business days for Wellcare to receive & process enrollments so that that display in your broker portal. To check on an enrollment sooner than that, after a few days from submitting the enrollment:
Call Wellcare broker support at (866) 822-1339
Look up their status and current plan via MARx via your CMS portal
Look up their status and current plan via the Wellcare broker portal
Check on their status at wellcare.com/applicationtracker
A few reasons why your enrollment may have processing delays with the carrier:
If the client's name, birthdate, MBI, or address was incorrect or incomplete, this may trigger the carrier's RFI (Request for Information) process
If the same plan was already submitted by a different agent before you, your application may have been rejected. Carrier broker Support can confirm. If the member wants to change the Agent of Record (AoR) to you, they will need to contact the carrier's broker support.
The client may have canceled the plan or enrolled with a different carrier.
My client isn't receiving the email to sign
Check for emails from noreply@mail.hellosign.com. If you don't see it, check your Spam folder. If it's not there, make sure that your client's email is spelled right – if it the email is incorrect, you'll see Email Bounced.
