Helpful Hints
If you’re on disability and under the age of 65, you can now buy a Medicare Supplement plan with guaranteed coverage. There is no waiting period or denial for preexisting conditions. A plan must be purchased 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.
