Your Open Enrollment Period begins when you are both 65 and have Medicare
Part B. To be eligible to purchase a Medigap policy, you:
- Must have Medicare Parts A and B
- Must be enrolled in the Original Medicare Plan (except
under special circumstances)
Phoebe understands that she is in her Open Enrollment Period. She can
purchase a Medigap policy during this period, and the companies offering
Medigap policies in her state cannot refuse to sell her the policy of
her choice. She has also learned that those who are under 65 and entitled
to Medicare because of a disability or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
may not have these rights.
