Enrollment presentation

Who can enroll?

You can enroll in a plan if:

• You're currently enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B or are newly eligible for Medicare.
• You live in the service area of the plan.

What if the enrollment deadline has passed?

If the enrollment deadline has passed, you won't be able to enroll unless you qualify for a Special Election Period.

An example of a Special Election Period is if you are enrolled in your spouse’s plan and they retire, you would then be able to enroll in this plan at that time.  Please call UFCW Benefits Office at 1-202-223-3111 x1207, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. TTY users, please call 711.

It's important to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B before you enroll in this plan. Medicare Part B requires a monthly premium payment for coverage, which is determined by when you enroll. In most cases, premium rates increase by 10 percent for each full 12-month period that you could have had Part B, but were not enrolled unless you were covered by a credible plan.
