About Medicare Enrollment
When you’re eligible to enroll in original Medicare, you’re also 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 you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan.
Once you’re enrolled in Medicare parts A and B, you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan:
- When you’re new to Medicare (a seven-month period)
- When you retire and lose group coverage
- During a designated Medicare election period, such as the Annual Enrollment Period
(Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 of the year before coverage starts)
About Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage plans are an “all-in-one” alternative to traditional Medicare. These plans are available from private companies such as ours. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approves the plans. If you join a Medicare Advantage plan, you still receive traditional Medicare benefits and more at low or no additional cost.
Medicare Advantage plans include both Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance). Our plan includes Part D (prescription drug coverage) as well.
Our Medicare Advantage plan includes products with no monthly premium and no deductible (not including the standard Medicare Part B premium) for health and prescription drug coverage as well as:
Vision • Dental • Hearing • Fitness Benefits • Worldwide Emergency • Telehealth
