Georgia has declared a Special Election Period pertaining to Medicare, for those folks who did not / could not exercise their options during the typical Annual Election Period. This special period impacts Medicare Advantage and Part D plans and runs through March 31, 2021.

The Medicare Rights Center signed onto a letter, along with all 50 state and national organizations urging the Biden Administration to open a Special Election Period for Medicare beneficiaries for Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (drug plans.) The administration did so in January for those Under 65 but neglected to address those most vulnerable to the effects of Covid – the senior population.
In part, the letter reads:
Specifically, we request the immediate reinstatement of two critical COVID-19 related Medicare
enrollment flexibilities: the Special Enrollment Period for Part C and Part D2 and Equitable Relief for
Premium Part A and Part B.3 These policies should remain in effect through December 31 of the year the
public health emergency ends, at a minimum, and coverage should begin no later than the first day of the
month following enrollment.
We call on the agent community, including NAHU and AHIP to advocate for this re-opening, too.
