Renewals

Renewals

Our Medicare Supplement plans are guaranteed renewable as long as your client pays the monthly dues. 
  
Members are eligible for an Open Enrollment Period every year. The Open Enrollment Period increased from 30 days to 60 days, effective July 1, 2020. This means the member's Open Enrollment Period starts on the first day of their birthday month and ends 60 days after their birthday. 
  
During this time, they may purchase any Medicare Supplement plan that offers benefits equal to or less than those provided by their current coverage, without regard to health status, claims experience, health care received, or medical condition. 
  
If your clients want to switch to a Medicare Supplement plan with richer benefits or an equal or lesser plan outside their Open Enrollment Period, they must complete a new application that includes a statement of health, the replacement of coverage section, and authorization for release of medical information. The application will be subject to underwriting review. 

Applications

    Download the application after your client has read the Summary of Benefits and "Choosing a Medigap Plan." Please note that the replacement of coverage information is now included within this application and not in a separate form.
