When Can I Apply for a Medicare Supplement Plan?
The Medigap Open Enrollment Period is the best time to apply for a plan because you will generally benefit from:
- Better prices even if you have health conditions
- Better plan selections you can compare
This is not the same as election periods for Medicare Advantage or the Medicare Part D plan (prescription drug plan). Your Medigap Open Enrollment Period:
- Begins when you turn 65 and have Part B Medicare benefits
- Ends six months later
If you apply for a plan outside open enrollment and are unable to meet the requirements set by medical underwriting, your plan options may be limited and priced higher. The Medicare insurance company can even decline your application.
Medigap does provide protection to beneficiaries who have lost their health care coverage under certain circumstances. This protection is known as guaranteed issue rights. If you have these rights, you are assured that:
- You can buy a Medigap policy
- Pre-existing conditions will be covered
- Higher premiums will not be imposed based on health conditions
