When checking online for the status of a submitted application, which detail is optional for prospective Wellcare members?

When checking online for the status of a submitted application, the confirmation number is the detail that is optional for prospective Wellcare members. This number is typically given to individuals upon submission of their application as a reference, but it is not strictly necessary to access application status.

The other options—last name, date of birth, and Medicare ID number—are required to accurately retrieve and identify an application. These details help ensure that the system can pull up the correct application associated with the prospective member. The confirmation number, while helpful, can be bypassed if the other identifying information is provided, which underscores its optional nature in the process.
