Medicare Supplement Plan N Eligibility

Like other Medigap plans, you are eligible for Plan N as long as you are enrolled in Original Medicare. It’s best to purchase a Medicare Supplement during Medigap’s open enrollment period, which starts on the first day of the month that you are 65 or over and enrolled in Medicare Part B.

During open enrollment, you are typically guaranteed eligible to enroll in the medicare supplement insurance plan of your choosing — even if you have preceding health conditions. If you are enrolled in Original Medicare, you will also not be charged a higher premium for any aforementioned health conditions.

But, you can apply for a Medigap Plan at any time. However, if you do not enroll during the Initial Enrollment Period when you are first eligible, and your Part B coverage becomes effective you would need to answer health questions. The provider then might turn down your application based on health conditions.

If you are considering Medigap policies, we’re ready to navigate you through the process. Private Insurance companies, like Turning 65 Solutions can help you find the plan that suits your budget and healthcare needs, whether you want your Medicare cost-sharing partially covered or fully covered.
