SPECIAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD – Effective 12/31/24, IU Health Medicare Advantage (MA) plans will no longer accept Lutheran Hospital as a provider.  This affects Adams, Allen, Huntington and Wells counties.  A special enrollment period will be available to individuals affected by this change to enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan with guaranteed issue rights.  This period begins 60 days before  and ends 63 days after MA plan coverage ends.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE OPEN ENROLLMENT – From 1/1 – 3/31/2025, you can switch your Medicare Advantage plan to another Advantage plan.  You can also drop your Advantage plan and switch back to Medicare A & B, plus enroll in a Medicare Drug plan.  You only have 1 opportunity to switch plans.

Effective 1/1/2025 you can buy a Medicare Supplement plan if you’re on disability and under the age of 65.  Coverage is guaranteed with no waiting period or coverage denial for preexisting conditions as long as you purchase a plan during a 6 month enrollment window.  
Premium rates for supplement plan letters A, B and D cannot exceed rates charged to those aged 65 who are not on disability.  Rates for the other 6 plan options cannot be more than double the rate charged to those aged 65.
