Louisiana Medicare Supplement Plans can help cover the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare doesn’t cover. The best time to enroll is during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period. This six-month period begins the month you are age 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this period, you can enroll in a Louisiana Medicare Supplement without having to undergo underwriting. After this period, there is a possibility of medical underwriting and coverage can be denied if you have pre-existing conditions or disabilities.
