Fraser Allport, Fiduciary : A Medicare Supplement is not always Guaranteed issue.

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, FL, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Preparing for Retirement, Medicare, and attaining financial security is not an easy task for anyone.
These days ... a person needs to plan as if they live to age 100.

And underestimating Out-of-Pocket Medical Expenses not covered by Medicare could seriously derail a person's Retirement Plans

A Medicare Supplement Policy ( aka – Medigap ) is designed to pay those out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by Medicare. Buying this policy is optional. It is issued by a private insurance company, not the U.S. Government. A person can be denied this policy if they have pre-existing conditions and miss their guaranteed enrollment periods, which are :

• Buy a policy when first eligible

The best time to buy a Medigap policy is during one's 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period. That's when a person may get better prices and more choices among policies. During that time a person can buy any Medigap policy sold in their state, even if they have pre-existing health problems. This period automatically starts the month a person turns age 65 and enrolled in Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance).

After this enrollment period, a person may not be able to buy a Medigap policy.

The Medicare Supplement policy may cost more or be declined due to pre-existing health problems.

• During open enrollment

Medigap insurance companies are generally allowed to use medical underwriting to decide whether to accept an application, and how much to charge that person for the Medigap policy. However, even if a person has pre-existing health problems, during one's Medigap open enrollment period one can buy any policy the company sells for the same price as people with good health.

• I’m 65 or older

Medigap open enrollment period begins when a person enrolls in Part B. Open Enrollment cannot be changed or repeated. In most cases, it makes sense to enroll in Part B when a person is first eligible, because they might otherwise have to pay a Part B late enrollment penalty.

• I’m turning 65

The best time to buy a Medigap policy is the 6-month period that starts the first day of the month that a person is age 65 or older and enrolled in Part B. For example, if a person turns 65 and they are enrolled in Part B in June, Open Enrollment is from June to November.

After this enrollment period, the option to buy a Medigap policy may be limited, it may cost more, or a person may also be declined due to pre-existing conditions.

• I’m under 65

Federal law doesn’t require insurance companies to sell Medigap policies to people under 65. If a person is under 65, they might not be able to buy the Medigap policy you want, or any Medigap policy, until one turns 65. However, some states require Medigap insurance companies to sell a person a Medigap policy, even if they are under 65.

• I have group health coverage through an Employer or Union.

If a person has group health coverage through an Employer or Union, they will usually wait to enroll in Part B. Employer plans often provide coverage similar to Part B and Medigap, so a person usually does not need Part B or a Medicare Supplement until they lose their Employer's Group Health.

When a person's Group Employer coverage ends, that person has 63 calendar days to enroll in Part B without a late enrollment penalty. That means one's Medigap open enrollment period will start when a person enrolls in Medicare Part B.

If a person enrolled in Part B while they still had Employer coverage, their Medigap open enrollment period would start then, with their Part B enrollment. If a person bought a Medigap policy before they needed it, a person may entirely miss their Open Enrollment.

• Outside open enrollment

If one applies for Medigap coverage after their open enrollment period, there’s no guarantee that an insurance company will offer them a Medigap policy
if they don’t meet the medical underwriting requirements.

A person needs to know their rights, responsibilities, and Deadlines when it comes to enrolling in Medicare Part B and Medicare Supplement Plans.
