Mrs. Schneider has Original Medicare Parts A and B and has just qualified for her state’s Medicaid program, so the state is now paying her Part B premium and she is considered a dual eligible. Will gaining eligibility for this program affect her ability to enroll in a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Prescription Drug plan?

Yes. Qualifying for this state program gives Mrs. Schneider access to a Special Enrollment Period that allows her to make changes to her MA and/or Part D enrollment during the first 9 months of each calendar year.
