Virtual Training - The season of Special Enrollment Period (SEP).

Join us for a virtual review session showcasing Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for Medicare. It is a designated period outside of the standard enrollment periods during which eligible individuals can make changes to their Medicare coverage. Unlike the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which typically runs from October 15 to December 7 each year, the SEP allows individuals to enroll in, switch, or disenroll from Medicare Advantage plans or Medicare Part D prescription drug plans under certain qualifying circumstances.

Qualifying events that may trigger a Special Enrollment Period include:

Turning 65: Individuals who become eligible for Medicare due to turning 65 have an Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) during which they can enroll in Medicare Part A and/or Part B. Additionally, they may have opportunities to enroll in Medicare Advantage or Part D plans during a SEP.

Moving: If you move out of your Medicare Advantage plan's service area, you may qualify for a SEP to enroll in a new plan available in your new location.

Loss of Other Coverage: Losing employer-sponsored health coverage or coverage from a union, Medicaid, or a Medicare Savings Program may qualify you for a SEP to enroll in Medicare Advantage or Part D plans.

Dual Eligibility: Individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles) may have additional opportunities to enroll in or switch Medicare Advantage or Part D plans outside of the standard enrollment periods.

Special Needs: Individuals who qualify for a Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan (SNP) due to specific chronic conditions may be eligible for a SEP to enroll in or switch to a SNP at any time.

Other Circumstances: Certain other circumstances, such as changes in your current plan's contract with Medicare, may also trigger a SEP.
