Guaranteed Issue Rights
If you have a Guaranteed Issue Right, it is a great time to purchase a Medicare supplement insurance plan, because you cannot be turned down or charged a higher rate due to health reasons.
You may have a Guaranteed Issue Right to purchase a Medicare supplement plan if:
- Your Medicare supplement insurance coverage has ended through no fault of your own
- You leave a Medicare Advantage Plan or drop a Medicare supplement policy because the company hasn’t followed the rules, or has misled you
- Within the first year of becoming eligible for and joining a Medicare Advantage plan, you decided to switch to Traditional Medicare
- Your Medicare Advantage plan stopped giving care in your area or is leaving Medicare
- You moved to a plan's service area and you decided to switch to Traditional Medicare instead of joining another Medicare Advantage plan
