A Message for Wellcare Providers. Please share with your administrative team.

Wellcare is sharing an important reminder that our Provider Partners should continue using toll-free numbers (TFNs) to submit faxes for health plan services.

Providers are encouraged to visit Sunflower Wellcare Provider Resources, or to logon to the Sunflower Secure Provider Portal to confirm the appropriate TFNs to which faxes should be submitted.

For questions regarding the appropriate use of faxes for Medicare services – or to confirm you have the correct TFN for your faxes, please contact your local Wellcare health plan representative.

Thank you for your commitment to providing quality care for our members, your patients.
