So, I've written a few April '18 T65s already, and just put the SSN + A or T based on the usual grid. I figured, once we know what the actual medicare claim number is, we should be able to switch it with a simple call in to Customer Service.
Wondering if there is a better way to handle this. What are all of you doing for this so far? I haven't seen any directives from carriers on what to do... yet.
It has been nice to always be able to be "fairly certain" that we were using the right info on the apps. Now, that's out the window.
I certainly don't want to wait until they get their card - but I also don't love the idea of doing the same thing we've always done and then having to remember to call in to switch it, especially for those who will never have a medicare card number issued to them as SSN+A or SSN+T.
So - does anyone have any best practices yet? Maybe we can compile a list of carriers here and list how they want us to handle this new snafu on early t65 apps when the mcid is unknown and not guessable....
