Which Medigap Enrollment Period Applies To My Situation? - Golden Years Health Plan
Which Medigap Enrollment Period Applies To My Situation? Are you approaching age 65 and preparing for Medicare coverage? In this video, we’ll explain the key times when you can enroll in a Medigap plan and what those periods mean for your health coverage options. We’ll cover the Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which lasts for six months starting the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this time, insurance providers are required to offer you any Medigap plan available, without denying coverage or charging higher premiums due to your health. We’ll also discuss what happens if you miss this window, including potential challenges like health questions and higher costs. Additionally, we’ll highlight special enrollment periods and guaranteed issue rights that might apply in certain situations, such as losing other coverage or leaving a Medicare Advantage plan early. For those under 65 qualifying due to disability, we’ll clarify how protections vary by state. We’ll also differentiate the Medigap Open Enrollment Period from the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, which occurs from October 15 to December 7 each year. If you’re turning 65 soon, understanding these enrollment periods can help you choose the best coverage at the right time.
