Are you eligible?
There are three requirements you must meet to become one of our members. You must:
- Already be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B
- Live within the plan's geographical service area
- You are a United States citizen or are lawfully present in the United States
When can you enroll?
When you’re eligible to enroll in Original Medicare, you also become eligible to enroll in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan.
If you aren’t automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, you must first contact Medicare to enroll in Parts A and B before being eligible for enrollment in a Medicare Advantage plan.
You can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan when you’re new to Medicare (seven-month period), when you retire and lose group coverage, or during a designated Medicare election period like the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct.15 through Dec. 7 of the previous year). To get started online, enroll here.
