Retirees who are converting their employer provided Health Insurance to a Medicare Advantage plan may enroll during your employer’s open enrollment.

To be eligible to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan the individual must be entitled to benefits under Part A and enrolled under Part B of the Medicare program. Persons with end-stage renal disease are excluded; however, an individual who develops end-stage renal disease while enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan may continue to be enrolled in that plan and may not be required to disenroll.

An individual is eligible to elect a Medicare Advantage Plan if the plan serves the geographic area in which the individual resides. If, after enrolling in a plan, the individual leaves the geographic area, the plan can offer the individual the option of staying in the plan so long as the plan provides the individual with reasonable geographic access to all basic plan benefits
