Medicare Supplement Policies - Issuance - Requirements

Summary

The law obligates carriers that sell Medicare supplement plans to issue a policy to anyone who meets specific eligibility criteria—such as newly enrolling in Medicare Part B, being enrolled in Maryland Medical Assistance, or qualifying under a federal special enrollment period—during designated time windows. Insurers cannot deny, limit, or charge higher premiums based on an applicant’s health, claims history, or medical condition. It also adds notification and plan‑choice rules around policy anniversaries.
