In this episode you will learn:
- That Medigap policies are standardized private plans (A-N) designed to supplement Original Medicare Parts A and B.
- The six-month open enrollment period, which starts when an individual is 65 or older and enrolled in Part B, guarantees the right to buy any Medigap policy without medical underwriting.
- It is illegal for an agent to sell a Medigap policy to a client they know is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan.
- Medigap policies sold after 2006 do not cover prescription drugs; a separate Part D plan is necessary for that coverage.
- Plans C and F, which cover the Part B deductible, are no longer available to individuals who became newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.
