Husband and wife, wife just turned 65 and I was able to help her. Husband has always had OG Medicare w/PDP and no supplement. AEP had passed so I couldn't do anything with his specific needs and circumstances. I told him about SEP's and to keep that in mind this year, worst case scenario I'll get him in October.
Low and behold he calls me last week after some crazy weather ripped through. I've been getting emails from different carriers for disaster/emergency SEP in a county where he lives.
I submit application for Fl Blue, and it gets denied stating he doesn't reside in a county with that SEP.
Can carriers pick and choose if they want to participate in this SEP or not? Aetna, Wellcare, Cigna, and one or 2 other have emailed me about this specific SEP for their county. I sent Fl Blue the executive order from FL Governor, and that he lives in one of the "affected counties." No dice, still denied the SEP.
Would appreciate some insight on this one, thanks!
