5. MEDIGAP (MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT) PLANS:
You can enroll in a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan at any time, but it’s often recommended to do so during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which is the six-month period that begins the month you are both 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this time, you have certain guaranteed issue rights, which means that insurance companies can’t deny you coverage or charge you more based on your health status.
understanding medicare eligibility and the enrollment process is crucial to ensure you can access the healthcare services you need when you become eligible. It’s advisable to plan ahead and carefully consider your options to make the most of your Medicare coverage.
If you have any questions or need assistance, you can contact the Social Security Administration, medicare.gov, or AMAC’s Medicare Advisory Service (800-334-9330) for guidance.
