Four States Offer Enhanced Medigap Protections Beyond Federal Standards

Four States Offer Enhanced Medigap Protections Beyond Federal Standards

Federal law provides a six-month protected enrollment period for Medigap policies when individuals turn 65 and enroll in Medicare Part B, during which insurers cannot deny coverage or charge more due to health conditions. However, outside this window, most states allow insurers to medically underwrite policies, potentially denying coverage or increasing costs for individuals with pre-existing conditions like diabetes. Only four states—Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Maine—offer significant Medigap protections that extend beyond this federal window. Connecticut and New York provide continuous guaranteed access to Medigap. Massachusetts offers broad protections throughout the year, while Maine mandates insurers to offer at least Plan A during an annual guaranteed-issue period. Other states may offer narrower opportunities, such as 'birthday windows' for existing Medigap policyholders, but these generally do not provide unrestricted access for all Medicare Advantage members seeking to switch to a su...

Diabetes Diagnosis Can Restrict Medicare Advantage Enrollees from Switching to Original Medicare in Most States

Diabetes Diagnosis Can Restrict Medicare Advantage Enrollees from Switching to Original Medicare in Most States

In most U.S. states, a diabetes diagnosis can effectively 'lock' individuals into their Medicare Advantage plans, making it difficult to switch to Original Medicare with a Medigap policy. This is due to medical underwriting requirements for Medigap plans outside of specific enrollment windows. While federal law provides a six-month open enrollment period for Medigap when a person first turns 65 and enrolls in Medicare Part B, and a 12-month trial right for new Medicare Advantage enrollees to return to Original Medicare, these protections are time-limited. Once these windows close, insurers in most states can deny Medigap coverage or charge higher premiums based on pre-existing conditions like diabetes, especially if insulin use or complications are present. Only four states—Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Maine—offer significant Medigap protections beyond the federal windows.
