Referrals and next steps
Make the resource available. Leave the decision with the person.
A responsible referral can begin with a useful link. It should not require an organization to share personal records or imply that a beneficiary has agreed to an insurance conversation.
Share a relevant resource
Give the person a guide, the coverage planner or the preparation worksheet. They can read without asking for help or providing contact details.
Let the person choose the next step
A beneficiary may independently explore a review request where the service is available. A group’s interest or an organization’s referral is not the beneficiary’s permission to be contacted.
Keep private information in the right channel
Do not send medical records, Medicare numbers, prescription lists or membership contacts through an organization inquiry. Confirm representative permission when helping someone act.
For the organization.
Evaluate the service, presenter and materials before describing a relationship as active. Sharing a public educational link does not create a partnership, endorsement or obligation for either party.
A prospective relationship should document who does what, how requested contact is handled, how privacy is protected, and what happens when assistance is not available in a beneficiary’s state.
No referral fee, endorsement arrangement, exclusive relationship or access to a beneficiary list is offered on this page. Any proposed arrangement requires its own business and compliance review before it becomes active.
