New Jersey Senior Health Plans (NJ)
The original Medicare Plan is a pay-per-visit health plan that allows a beneficiary to all healthcare providers that accept Medicare nationwide. The initial enrollment period (IEP) for Medicare is between three months before and after reaching the age of 65; late enrollment will result in penalties. In some cases, disability cases are allowed to enroll before this period, specifically from the 22nd to the 28th month of disability. At this point, enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans can be done. Medicare Advantage plans are supplementary health insurance that people who already have Medicare Part A and B can avail of.
General conditions for enrolling in a particular Medicare Advantage plan:
- Participation in Medicare Part A and Part B.
- Residence in the service area of the plan
- Negative for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant
