Follow These Instructions to Enroll (you will need to have your Medicare ID card available):
When Will Your Coverage Become Effective?
For Current Medicare Beneficiaries (d):
If you enroll during the Annual Coordinated Election Period, your coverage will begin on Jan. 1 of next year.
For New Medicare Beneficiaries:
If your enrollment form is received within the three months prior to the month you become eligible, your coverage will begin on the first day of the month you become eligible for Medicare.
If your enrollment form is received during the month you become eligible or the following three months, your coverage will become effective the first day of the next month after your enrollment form has been received.
For Enrollment During Open or Special Enrollment Periods
Your coverage will become effective the first day of the month after your enrollment form has been received.
Note: We recommend that you submit your enrollment form as early in the month as possible. By doing so, you are more likely to have your BlueAdvantage PPO ID card in time for easy access to your benefits when your coverage begins.
