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

The confirmation number is an optional element for prospective Wellcare members when checking the status of their submitted application online. While having a confirmation number can streamline the process and help in quickly locating the application, it is not strictly necessary for accessing the status. Other elements, such as the enrollment date, beneficiary name, and social security number, are typically required to verify identity and ensure that the information retrieved corresponds to the correct individual’s application. Therefore, the confirmation number serves as a helpful reference, but the absence of it does not prevent a user from being able to check the application status online.
