2012 Medigap plan enrollment kit

Information to help your clients apply for Priority Health Medigap plan.

Application/enrollment requirements

Priority Health Medigap products are underwritten. Individuals can enroll and receive the preferred premium:

  • In their open enrollment period (a six-month period starting the first day of the month in which they turn 65 and are enrolled in Part B) or
  • If they have a guaranteed issue right (for example, if they lost or dropped employer coverage, enrolled in a MAPD for the first time and decided to leave the plan in the first 12 months of coverage, or if their Medicare plan leaves Medicare)
  • Other applicants may be enrolled at the preferred, tier-one or tier-two premium or not at all depending on their health status.
  • Individuals may switch from another carrier's Medigap plan to a Priority Health Medigap plan, but medical underwriting will apply if they aren't in their open enrollment period or do not have a guaranteed issue right.
  • Individuals must live in Michigan for at least 6 months of the year.
  • Individuals must be enrolled in Medicare A & B to enroll in a Priority Health Medigap plan.

Application/enrollment options

Original Medicare and Medigap plans don't cover prescription drug costs. You may want to add PriorityMedicare RxSM, which would give you Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits.
