you want to leave.

- This must be the first time you have been enrolled in a Medicare
+ Choice plan, PACE program, or Medicare SELECT policy; AND

the Medicare SELECT policy within 1 year after joining.

available, you have the right to buy the Medigap Plan A, B, C, or F that
is sold in your state.
Time Limit
You must apply for a Medigap policy during the period that begins 60
days before your coverage is discontinued and ends 63 days after your
coverage is discontinued.
