For more than 20 years, Wellcare has focused on providing Medicare Advantage plans that go beyond Original Medicare, offering additional benefits like dental, vision, hearing and $0 or low monthly plan premiums – all with the goal of helping members stay active and healthy.

Our partnership with the Moose Fraternity is built on shared priorities: serving communities, promoting well-being and ensuring members have the resources you need to make informed healthcare decisions. By working together, we aim to:

Provide Clear, Reliable Medicare Advantage Plan Education

Many Moose members are approaching or already eligible for Medicare and understanding the different coverage options can feel confusing. Our partnership provides trusted information, guidance and tools to help you feel confident in your health and wellness choices.

Explore Enhanced Healthcare Benefits

Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans include coverage not available through Original Medicare, like dental, vision and hearing services. These benefits can play a key role in maintaining your everyday health and wellness.

Comprehensive Coverage and Affordability with Wellcare Medicare Advantage

With predictable copays, prescription drug coverage and reduced out-of-pocket costs, Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans are designed to offer financial peace of mind while still delivering comprehensive care. Unlike Original Medicare, which may leave you responsible for higher deductibles or coinsurance and does not typically include prescription drug coverage or extra benefits, Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans bundle these essential services into one plan. For many members, this comprehensive approach not only simplifies healthcare management but also provides more value and support than Original Medicare alone.

The Moose Fraternity ended the recent fiscal year (May 1, 2025 – April 30, 2026) with 959,055 lodge members, marking the fifth consecutive year of membership growth. Membership improved by an astounding 46,654 members from the end of last year (912,401 members) and the momentum keeps building.

“For a fifth year in a row, we are thrilled to share that the Moose Fraternity has reached another incredible milestone in our continued growth and strength. During this past campaign year, ending April 30th, we achieved an outstanding gain of 46,654 active members! This remarkable surge brings our total active membership to an impressive 959,055 strong. Such growth is a testament to the dedication, passion, and community spirit shared by our members across the Fraternity. Together, we are building an even brighter future and truly growing to serve,” shared Moose International CEO Scott Hart.

He encourages everyone not to rest on their laurels and to keep working hard to move the Fraternity even closer to the 1M member mark in the coming year.

The International Moose Convention is approaching quickly. There will be two Heart of the Community initiatives planned for OKC: donations of money and needed items to the OK Kids Korral, founded by The Toby Keith Foundation and a blood drive in support of the local community.

The OK Kids Korral helps make life a little easier for children with cancer by providing a safe, convenient, and hopeful place for families to connect with each other and focus on the well-being of their child. OK Kids Korral provides daytime and overnight lodging for pediatric patients and their families. The state of the art facilities at OK Kids Korral are designed to create a relaxing haven for the entire family.

The Moose HOC Committee will be taking donations at their booth near the registration area in the convention center. All checks should be made out to OK Kids Korral and wish list items (see attached list) may also be dropped off at the booth.

The blood drive will occur on Thursday, July 2^nd in the convention center. Additional details will be available later on the Moose International website in the convention section and in Official Communications closer to the event.

Please try and give to either the OK Kids Korral or at the Blood Drive. Let’s show the people of Oklahoma what Moose members do to be the Heart of the Community!

Members are proud of their years of service with the Moose but sometimes lose those years due to clerical errors. Members who are close to their expiration date need to pay dues at their current lodge prior to requesting a transfer. If not, they are frequently entered into LCL as a new member and lose their original enrollment date. Lodge officers should provide guidance to members on transfers as well as reinstating vs re-enrolling.  Additional information regarding this can be found on our website in the Membership area. The General Laws also outline the transfer process.
