If you switch from \n Medicare Advantage to Original Medicare, do you get a chance to pick up Medigap \n coverage? \n Answer: If you move out of your current Medicare Advantage Plan’s service area, you \n are given an SEP to enroll in a new Medicare Advantage Plan or Original Medicare. You \n aren’t given a chance to enroll in Medigap coverage on the bases of leaving your \n current Medicare Advantage Plan’s service area. However, in some states Medigap \n insurers are allowed to sell you a Medigap policy outside of protected enrollment \n periods. Contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) or the state \n department of insurance to learn more about Medigap enrollment within your state, as \n different states have different enrollment rules. (Usually, you aren’t given an opportunity \n to enroll in a Medigap based on losing Medicare Advantage coverage unless you're in \n your 12-month trial period.)","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.352041,"width":0.764238,"height":0.27723000000000003}},{"text":"Question: If I have a Medigap plan in one state and I move to another state that does \n not offer that plan (say I’m in a Plan C Medigap but my new state may have carriers \n offering Plan A) can I keep my old carrier from my other state? \n Answer: If you have a Medigap and are moving, you do not need to change your \n Medigap plan. Contact your Medigap plan to see if the cost of your Medigap will \n change. If you are moving to a different state, it is important to know that some \n states may have different enrollment rules, which may impact your ability to change \n your Medigap plan after you move.
