2012 Medicare plans (Switch plan year)

How to enroll in Legacy Medigap

You can:

If you are currently enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and wish to enroll in Medigap, you must disenroll in writing from Medicare Advantage before enrolling in Legacy Medigap. You can disenroll from Medicare Advantage only at certain times of the year. Call your Medicare Advantage Member Services department for information on how to disenroll from that plan and prevent a lapse in coverage.

If you're covered under a health policy from any other insurer, do not cancel that coverage until you receive your Legacy Medigap ID card and are sure you want to keep it.

Complete answers are very important

When you fill out the application for Legacy Medigap coverage, be sure to answer truthfully and completely all questions. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan may cancel your policy and refuse to pay any claims if you leave out or falsify important medical information. Review the application carefully before you sign it. Be certain that all information has been properly recorded.
