ProCare Approvals
A special mailing regarding ProCare Medicare Supplement new business and renewal rate information has been mailed to General Agents in
Connecticut, Montana,
Vermont and Washington.
If you did not receive this notice, please contact the Agent Service Center at (800) 925-7355.
As 2000 ProCare approvals are received, existing Medicare Supplement customers who are currently on the $3 ACF Partners program will be converted to the enhanced ACF Partners for $5 per month. Details regarding this enhanced service are included with your rate increase notice.

Reminder From Legal
When an Agent writes replacement business, they must specify on the appropriate replacement form the reason for the replacement.
If the reason for the replacement
is the addition of UA’s ACF service,
the box designated as “Other”
should be selected along with the
explanation that the applicant will
now receive this service.
An Agent should not select the “Additional Benefit(s)” box on the form if the replacement is due to the addition of UA’s ACF service.

Attn: Med-Supp Agents
For some time, the rates on ProCare Plans D and G in Georgia and
Missouri have been too low. Rate increases have been requested but not approved by authorities in these states. We are continuing to work on obtaining necessary rate increases. In the meantime, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend sales of
Plans D and G in these states. As previously communicated,
this will become effective Oct. 1, 2000.

Attn: Arizona Agents
Arizona state regulations require that all life apps must have a question to the applicant
and the Agent regarding replacement. The Whole Life Plan 511 only has a question to the applicant, therefore there is a supplemental form for
Arizona Agents to complete when writing business on Plan 511.
You can order an updated Life compliance sheet and the new supplemental form (Form U-1281R-1) from Agent Supply.
