Underwriting Medical Supplement Plan J Applications to begin May 1
Regence Medicare Supplement Plan J applications with a policy effective date of May 1, 2008 or later, will be subject to medical underwriting. We are taking this step in an effort to keep our Plan J rates as low as possible, continuing to make it a solid value for this rich design.
Plan J has our most robust Medicare Supplement benefit design. It's competitively priced, making it one of the most preferred plans in Washington for those wanting a rich benefit plan at a very attractive price point.
Plan J does not require underwriting if the applicant is:
- In his or her initial six months enrollment period
- Coming from another carrier's Medigap Plan J
For those prospective members who would rather not complete a health statement, Plan F is a comparable benefit design that is not subject to medical underwriting. Either way, we have comprehensive plan designs from which to choose. Prospective members who apply for Plan J and are declined based on the health statement can enroll in Plan F with no underwriting.
If you have any questions, talk with your Regence Consumer Sales contact.
