On April 8, 2009, WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (the "Registrant") received notices (the "CMS Coordinated Care Notices") from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") confirming that the following contracts between CMS and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Registrant, had been renewed for a period of one year ending on December 31, 2009:

Under the CMS Coordinated Care Notices, Harmony will continue to provide Medicare coordinated care plans in Indiana and Missouri and WCNJ will continue to provide Medicare coordinated care plans in New Jersey.
