Medicare Special Enrollment Extended for Qualified Floridians
According to our trusted HealthShare360 Medicare experts, if you live in an area that was impacted by Hurricane Ian and this prevented you from taking action, such as enrolling in a plan or making changes to your current plan, over the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 – Dec 7), you may qualify for a Special Election Period (SEP). The SEP has been extended until May 31.
Eligibility: any beneficiary who resides or resided at the start of the incident in Florida, or beneficiaries who don’t live in FL but receive assistance making healthcare decision from someone who lives in FL
Enrollments received are effective the first day of the following month.
To determine if you’re eligible for this Special Election Period, contact our Medicare Patient Advocate Olivia Pierrelouis at Olivia.Pierrelouis@mpgus.com or 866.674.6880.
