AAMSI Urges Medicare Insurance Agents to Educate Seniors About Medicare's General Enrollment Period
“The Medicare General Enrollment Period is the time during when seniors who did not sign-up for Medicare when first eligible have another opportunity to do so,” explains
Slome notes that millions of seniors did not sign up for Medicare when they first became eligible. “Many were still working and had coverage through an employer plan,” the Medicare insurance expert explains.
“A significant new change will benefit those who do not sign-up for Medicare at age 65.,” Slome explains. The changes were included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA). On
Starting in 2023, individuals who sign up for Medicare at any point during the General Enrollment Period will be covered under Medicare on the first day of the month after they sign up. Previously there could be as much as a 6-month lag when the individual might not have had coverage.
“The Medicare General Enrollment Period ends March 31,” Slome notes. “Insurance agents and brokers should make their older clients aware of this little-known Medicare opportunity. There’s so much focus on the December 7thdeadline, few know of all the many opportunities Medicare provides. That’s where a local agent can really separate themselves from the overwhelming onslaught of television ads.”
