Current opt-out methods for WellCare mail
-
Contact form
Go to Wellcare's Contact Us page. The form asks if you have a question, comment, or suggestion. It starts on Select an Option. Choose General Public or Member, then ask to stop promotional mail. Provider is the wrong choice for a mailbox opt-out.
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the WellCare mailer. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call WellCare at +1-910-362-9405. Ask them to stop sending you promotional mail.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Mail already printed can still arrive.
- Plan mail is separate. Stopping promotional Medicare-plan mail does not stop member notices, bills, ID cards, or other plan mail if you keep coverage.
Why Do You Receive WellCare Mail?
Wellcare is Centene’s Medicare brand. They have offered Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans for more than 20 years, and Wellcare is a wholly owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation. Beginning Jan. 1, 2022, Centene moved Allwell, Health Net, Fidelis Care, Trillium Advantage, ‘Ohana Health Plan, and TexanPlus onto the Wellcare name.
You get promotional mail about Medicare plans if they are prospecting you, or if you are already a Wellcare or Centene member. Open enrollment arrived, and the packets kept coming after you already picked a plan. Plan mail, ID cards, and bills are not this opt-out.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from WellCare as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of WellCare mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops WellCare marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the Contact Us page, or call +1-910-362-9405, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail. Member Services tells you to pick your state for the plan phone. That plan phone is not this marketing line.
Frequently asked questions
How long until WellCare mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Plan and account mail can still arrive if you keep coverage.
How do I stop WellCare mail for a previous resident?
Go to the Contact Us page and include that person’s name and this address, or call +1-910-362-9405, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will WellCare mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. Submit a new Contact Us request for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
