Updated Guide to Medicare Conditional Part A Enrollment

 

Avisery by AgeOptions is pleased to share an updated version of “A Guide to Medicare Conditional Part A Enrollment in Illinois" (click link and scroll down). Medicare Conditional Part A Enrollment is an enrollment process that assists individuals aged 65 and older without the required work history to qualify for premium-free Part A and have their Medicare premiums paid for by Illinois Medicaid.   

 

This guide provides an overview of eligibility for Medicare Part A Conditional Enrollment, detailed instructions on when and how to apply, and how the Avisery Medicare Savings Program (MSP) Referral Pathway can assist individuals who are experiencing issues with their application.  

 

In Illinois, the Conditional Part A enrollment process allows individuals to apply for premium Part A during select enrollment periods, with the Medicare General Enrollment Period (GEP) being the most commonly used. The Medicare GEP takes place annually from January 1 through March 31. As a result, this guide can be a timely and helpful resource for professionals helping individuals interested in applying. The guide is available here (scroll down).
