Questions about shopping for plans? We’ve got answers.
How/when can I enroll in or switch an Individual or Family plan?
You can sign up during this year’s Open Enrollment Period, which lasts from Nov. 1 – Dec. 15 each year. If you’ve had a major life change (like getting married, losing your coverage, moving out of state, etc.), you could shop now with a special enrollment window for a limited time. There’s more about that here.
How/when can I enroll in or switch my Employer’s plan?
Your employer likely has an enrollment window each year for you to sign up, unless you’re a new employee. Talk with your HR team about how to get enrolled.
How/when can I enroll in or switch a Medicare plan?
You’ll need to shop during the Annual Enrollment Period, from Oct. 15 – Dec. 7 each year to switch plans. If you’re just turning 65 or retiring, you have a window of three months before and three months after your birthday to sign up for Medicare. Some big life events – like getting married or moving – might allow you to enroll in a plan outside this window. If you have one coming up, contact us or your broker.
How/when can I enroll in or switch a Medicare with Medicaid (BlueCare Plus) plan?
If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, you may sign up for a BlueCare Plus plan throughout the year. Contact us or your broker to get help.
How can I enroll in a Medicaid (also called TennCare) plan?
We want you to feel confident in making your Medicare decisions. Here’s a link to get you caught up on the basics or you can give our sales team a call at 1-800-292-5146.
Many Tennesseans who bought individual or family plans through HealthCare.gov or have Medicare get help with the cost of their plan. Depending on your plan, size of your family and how much money you make, you could get help with your monthly payment, the cost of your care or your prescription drugs.
Prescription coverage is so important, but it can also be a big expense. If you or your loved ones need help paying for your Medicare prescription coverage, you might qualify for Extra Help through Social Security. Visit the Social Security website to see if you qualify.
