12 Month Trial MA Trial

[Dowejonez]

If you want to go back to original medicare during your 12 month trial period, can you take any med sup if you didn't carry one when you began?

 

[Todd King]

The client can choose any plan in this case.

OK, I'm certified, but only for a week and still learning this medicare stuff, what's a 12 month MA trial?

Is there something different than making moves during MAPD and AEP?

May I ask who you are appointed with? You may want to ask if the have some training classes you could attend.

You can also read cover to cover a few times the Medicare and You book and do a ton of reading on Medicare.gov

You'll find some smart a$$ people on here, ignore them, there are enough of us to give constructive answers.

The first time someone enrolls into a MA plan, they are in a 12 month trial period.

True, but they can't always go to a med sup. They may be limited to going back to medicare only.

They can in CA. Don't know if that's a federal or state rule.

Are you saying a person in Ca. that was on only medicare only and was say 68 years old and not ever been on a med sup or MA plan and signs up for one now during AEP for the first time and then drops it in 6 months because of the trail period can GI into a med sup?

If they can it's certainly a state rule.

On further review I don't think that person would even have a trial right. I don't believe they could drop the MA after the MADP at all until the next AEP.
