Already have a Medicare Supplement plan?

Switching to a Blue Shield plan can be simple. You can transfer to an open plan of equal or lesser value during your Open Enrollment Period, starting on the first day of your birthday month and ending 60 days after your birthday, without going through underwriting. (That means no medical exam is required.)

You can also transfer to a Medicare Supplement plan with richer benefits if you like. However, you may have to complete a new application and go through underwriting to do so. We accept transfer applications as early as 60 days prior to your birthday month.

Please note: Extra/Innovative benefits are no longer considered when evaluating whether a plan’s benefits are considered “equal to” or “lesser than.” Subscribers currently enrolled in Medicare Supplement Plan F can transfer to Plan F Extra⁵, and members currently enrolled in Plan G can transfer to Plan G Extra during their annual Open Enrollment Period without underwriting. (That means no medical exam is required.)
