Getting Contracted Considerations

1. Are you currently appointed with UnitedHealthcare?
2. If so, how are you contracted?
   1. Are you contracted as an independent agent, as a business entity, or both?
   2. If you are contracted as both, both the individual contract and the business entity will need to be transferred.
3. If you are currently appointed, will you need a release?
   1. If you have written business in the last 6 months, you will need to obtain a release from your previous agency in order to contract with ABC Producers.
   2. If you have not written business in the last 6 months, you can complete a new contract under ABC Producers.
