Medicare supplement plans are not subject to Medicare compliance laws as are other types of Medicare health plans and Part D drug plans. You are allowed to select a Medicare supplement plan without going through underwriting or being subject to eligibility questions if:
- You are turning 65 within 6 months and have applied for or eligible for Medicare Part A and B
- If you are older than 65 and have lost group insurance coverage through no fault of your own in the last 63 days and have applied for Part B.
- If you are under 65 and have recently received Medicare Disability. (Rules vary from state to state.)
- If your Medicare Advantage Plan has terminated your coverage.
Also Medicare supplement plans are not subject to the "Annual Open Enrollment" as the other Medicare plans are, once you've chosen a Medicare supplement plan, that's all you have to do, no other action will ever be required and the plan will automatically renew on your anniversary date.
