How to Use the WellCare Agent Portal

By Dana Minear

Wellcare

The WellCare agent portal is a powerful website that puts all of your tools in one place.

Please note this uses images from a PC.  The view on a tablet or phone will look different, although the functionality should still be there.

If you have not received a Writing Number, many of these features will not be visible to you.  Once you have completed certifications and received your Writing Number, the entire site will be available.

Start Here

Use this link to access the login page.

Click Forgot Password

You will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password

Enter the temporary password that was sent in the email for Current Password

Choose a new password, pay special attention to the password requirements, retype your new password and click Save.

If you have an email on file, a code will be sent to your email, and you will advance to an authentication code entry screen.  If you have both an email and a cell phone number on file, an authentication option screen will appear.

Select the email option or the text message option. Selecting “text message” will text an authentication code to the cell number on file. Selecting email will email the code to the email address on file.

*Please note that if you have changed your email address since contracting with WellCare, you will not receive the email. Do NOT change your email address, it can cause issues between carriers, and lots of issues for you!

User Authentication

Once the authentication code screen appears, type the code you received via email or text in the Passcode field. This screen will tell you where the password was sent in case you cannot locate it.

Select Sign On and you will be routed to the PingOne Single Sign-on Portal.

Please select the Get Started button for a few quick reference points to start using the tool.

Once you have completed the few reference points, there are two applications that are on your portal: Callidus ICM Broker Portal and rrd Sales Materials Ordering Portal.

Access the WellCare agent Portal

Click on the Broker Portal picture on your profile. This is where you can check the status of your applications submitted, submit a ticket to WellCare if you need assistance, check your commissions, and so much more.

Agency Principals can switch views between their portal and the agency portal without logging out and logging back in. This is helpful when locating commission statements and books of business.

To switch portal views, click the gear icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. (Only Principals have this ability, downline agents do not.)

In the Simulate User field, enter your personal or Agency producer ID, then click Switch to access the new portal.
