AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require companies that sell Medicare supplemental (Medigap) insurance policies to hold a yearly enrollment period starting January 1, 2028. Any person eligible for Medicare could sign up for any policy the company offers during that period, which would match the annual Medicare open enrollment period. During this period, companies could not deny coverage, set conditions, or charge different prices based on a person's health status, medical history, claims, or medical condition. The Department of Health and Human Services would have to update the "Medicare & You" and "Welcome to Medicare" notices within 30 days of the law's enactment to explain the change.
