## What to include in your fax to Wellcare

Use the relevant grievance, redetermination or coverage-request form. Include the member and medication or service details, the decision being challenged if applicable, and the supporting prescriber information required.

## Check the destination and prepare your cover page

Name the receiving claims or appeals team and the request type. Include the policy, member or claim reference where the form asks for it, a callback number and the total page count. Put medical evidence in the required attachments rather than the cover summary.

Check the official source and recipient instructions before sending. A reviewed source confirms a published number, not live availability.

## Confirm delivery and follow up with Wellcare

These are fax destinations, not voice support lines. Keep the transmission result and a copy of the documents. Confirm with the receiving department that the packet is complete and can be processed; a delivery receipt does not establish acceptance or a decision. Check with that department before sending a duplicate.
