Consumers eligible for Medicare Part A before January 1, 2020 can do what regarding plans C and F?

Consumers who were eligible for Medicare Part A before January 1, 2020, can indeed enroll in both plans C and F, even after that date. This is because individuals who were already eligible for Medicare Part A prior to the cut-off date are grandfathered in, allowing them to take advantage of Medigap plans that were available to them at that time, which include plans C and F.

Plans C and F offer comprehensive coverage, including benefits such as coverage for the Part B deductible, which is no longer covered by new policies issued after January 1, 2020. However, those who became eligible for Medicare on or after that date do not have the option to enroll in these specific plans, which is why the eligibility cutoff is crucial. This transition allows pre-2020 eligible consumers to maintain access to the robust benefits offered by these plans without needing to switch to a new plan or reapply.
