Due to the exceptional circumstances brought on during the 2022 hurricane season, Medicare established a special enrollment opportunity for qualifying Floridians.
The Hurricane Ian Special Enrollment Period (SEP) related to Tropical Storm Nicole runs until July 31.
The Tropical Storm Nicole disaster SEP (effective Nov. 11, 2022) is now available in ALL Florida counties and has been extended until July 31, 2023.
All elections made during this SEP go into effect the following month and remain in effect for the rest of 2023. You will have a chance to enroll in a different Medicare plan for 2024, if you so choose, during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period that runs October 15 through December 7, 2023.
To determine if you’re eligible for this Special Election Period, contact our Medicare Patient Advocate Olivia Pierrelouis at Olivia.Pierrelouis@mpgus.com or 866.674.6880.
