Switching to a New Company …
If you already have a Medicare Supplement policy in place but would like to switch to a new company and plan, you can do that anytime of the year, although during the month of your birthday is the easiest time to make the change. This is called the “Birthday Rule” here in California.
You can enroll in a new company and plan with the same benefits or less, and you don’t have to answer any health questions on the new enrollment form. Approval is guaranteed regardless of your health status. Call me for more information on the Birthday Rule.
