SilverScript SmartRx 2023 PDP Changes for 2023

The SilverScript SmartRx 2023 PDP plan will have some changes. It will be important for Medicare agents to know what is changing and how to quote and compare the plans for 2023. The plan will not pay commission on new sales for 2023. As a result, some quote and comparison sites will not show the plan when running drug comparisons. Read below to learn more.

Commission

New sales of the plan for 2023 will not pay commission to agents. The existing cases on the books will continue to pay renewal commission in 2023. The SilverScript Choice and Plus plan will continue to pay commission on existing plans and new sales for 2023. 2023 MA and PDP CMS max commissions

Name Change

The plan will have a name change for 2023. The new name will be the SilverScript Smart Saver. There will not be a change for those in the plan other than the slight name change.

Premium

The plan will continue to be the lowest or one of the lowest premium drug plans for 2023

SilverScript SmartRx 2023: Quoting and comparing

The plan not being commissionable for new sales in 2023 creates some challenges for us as agents. The plan will continue to have a very low premium for 2023. Depending on the medication list of clients it may still come out the best for them in 2023. Luckily commissions will still be paid on existing cases. The challenge is quoting and comparing the plan for existing clients. Since the plan will not pay commission for new 2023 sales, it is not on a number of quote and comparison sites. Here is where you can and cannot look to see the plan in 2023:

Connecture

The Silverscript Smart Rx (SilverScript Smart Saver for 2023) will not show up on connecture until the “Show all Plans” option has been selected. Agents will not be able to enroll members into the plan but it will be there in order to run PDP comparisons.

Sunfire

As of the creation of this post (Oct, 10th 2022) Sunfire will not show the SilverScript Smart Saver plan on their platform. This will be the case even when using the “Show all plans” option.

MyMedicareBot

The plan will show on the platform for 2023. Agents will be able to run the plan and compare drug costs against other plans. Like Connecture and Sunfire, MyMedicareBot will save client info and drug lists when you use it
