WellCare PFFS Discontinues Plans for 2010

WellCare has notified the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that it does not intend to renew its contracts to offer
Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plans in 2010. This decision affects all WellCare PFFS plans, including those
referred to as Concert, Melody, Melody-Plus, Prelude, Quartet, Sonata, Sonata-Plus and Serenade. These plans will be
discontinued on January 1, 2010.

All WellCare PFFS members received letters titled “Your Medicare is Changing” in early October with more specific information
about your 2010 Medicare covered options.

WellCare Medicare Advantage PFFS members had access to covered benefits through December 31, 2009 or through their
disenrollment date if earlier. Providers should continue to bill for covered services rendered for eligible dates of service.

WellCare's decision to discontinue offering PFFS plans does not affect WellCare Medicare Advantage HMO (coordinated care) or
prescription drug plan (PDP) members or Medicaid members.
