Like most states, there are ten standardized Medigap Plans available for beneficiaries to choose from. The best time to enroll in a Medicare Supplement is during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period which begins the first month you turn 65 and enrolled in Medicare Part B. Insurance carriers cannot deny you coverage due to any health issues. However, enrolling after this period coverage can be denied. You may be subject to medical underwriting and if you have a disability or pre-existing condition, the insurance provider may not be able to see you a policy.
