Carriers Q&A – Communications

Will BeWellNM provide advance notice to carriers of communications to members, copy of letters that members will receive etc? I think its important to that we have awareness around the timing of these communications and copies of what is being sent so our call teams are aware.

There is a full communication plan for this project that includes regular communications to all stakeholders, including issuers, which we will be sharing soon. The plan includes communications to members with advanced notice to carriers. 

How will the new exchange assigned IDs be communicated to the members? Will BeWell / GetInsured make the communication?

BeWell will include the new (PY26) ID to members in the renewal and eligibility notices, which will be delivered at the end of October.

Please share documentation outlining the communications plan BeWell/ Getinsured will implement to inform members about the changes. This will help carriers to plan for additional comms if needed.

Additional information will be presented in the biweekly meetings during the week of May 12, and we will post the materials afterwards.

What is the cutover plan with open enrollment starting on 11/1/2025 so we can understand the routes and associated dates.

Do we route for 2025 and answer for 2026 starting 11/1 so we will have a dual message on our member facing portals.

There will remain one phone number for members (1-833-862-3935) and one website (www.bewellnm.com). Calls and online traffic will be routed as necessary. In addition, carriers will have a separate line for BeWell inquiries. More specifically, the cutover plan aligns with the plan years. All PY26 activities (renewals, new applications, and associated customer support) will be handled by the GetInsured platform and call center. All PY25 activity will be managed by the Optum/NFP systems and call center teams.
