Wellcare Announces Partnership with The American Legion

Wellcare is pleased to share the news of a new partnership with The American Legion, the nation’s largest veteran’s organization, comprised of roughly 1.6 million members in roughly 12,000 posts across the country. Wellcare will now serve as the exclusive Medicare Advantage partner of The American Legion, connecting Medicare eligible veterans, their spouses and the greater military community with innovative products and solutions that complement the benefits eligible veterans receive through their Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare. Wellcare will also host joint events at Legion Posts nationwide and virtually to connect and educate legionnaires about opportunities for Medicare Advantage Plans.

Wellcare also will support The American Legion’s Be the One initiative, a long-term priority to destigmatize asking for mental health support, provide resources to save veterans, and ultimately, eliminate veteran suicide. Today, veteran suicide rates are more than 50% higher than that of non-veteran adults, and nearly 6,000 veterans or service members take their lives each year. Wellcare and The American Legion are committed to driving awareness of this critical work through leadership and event activations.
