Dear Provider,

WellCare of Ohio, Inc. (WellCare) is excited to announce the upcoming use of a new outbound communication method for our Ohio provider community: e-mail!

Because you are a registered user of the secured Provider website, you will soon begin receiving e-mail communications with information regarding the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) measures and other important communications.

Since you may have previously provided your e-mail address to WellCare during the secured website registration or credentialing process, it may automatically be included in this initiative. If you wish to opt out, please unsubscribe by following the instructions below.

• You may unsubscribe/opt out from the e-mail communications at any time by scrolling down to the bottom of any WellCare e-mail and clicking the "One-Click Unsubscribe" link.

If there are other providers in your practice who are not already registered users of the Provider website, we suggest encouraging them to register so they may receive future e-mail communications as well.

We will never e-mail you Protected Health Information (PHI) or HIPAA-related communication. If you do receive an e-mail containing sensitive information, please contact WellCare's iCare Compliance Hotline at 1-866-364-1350.

Please note that contractual and regulatory-based communications will continue to be delivered via other methods, including mailings and faxes.

If you have any questions, please call Provider Services at 1-800-951-7719 (Medicaid) or 1-866-687-8815 (Medicare).

Thank you,

WellCare of Ohio, Inc.
