Guaranteed Issue Medicare Supplement!

Beginning October 15th for policies with a November 1, 2010 effective date, we are providing guaranteed issue for eligible individuals who switch from an existing Medicare Supplement policy to a new Anthem Medicare Supplement policy with equal or lesser benefits.

That's correct, we will accept new Medicare Supplement members without need for health history or underwriting. Eligible applicants must simply have an existing Medicare Supplement policy with any carrier and apply for an Anthem Medicare Supplement policy of equal or lesser benefits.

This means it's easier than ever for customers to get the plan they need. 


The Guaranteed Issue Medicare Supplement offer will end on December 1, 2011, so to take advantage of this limited time offer, applications must be received on or before that date. Although applicants can switch for effective dates throughout the entire 2011 calendar year, you'll want to get started now to help ensure customers find the right plan!

While online applicants will need to complete the Health History in order to successfully navigate through the online system, as long as they are applying for an Anthem Medicare Supplement policy of equal or lesser benefits, their application will not need underwriting and the Health History information will not be reviewed or considered.

Note: Program applies to all states except NY, CT, ME and NH as these states already have guaranteed issue of Medicare Supplement policies.
