Just checking to make sure of this. I had a gentlemen that went on SS disability and became eligible for Medicaid until his Medicare started last April, 2015. For some reason, his Medicare Part B did not start then, only his Part A. He says he did not turn down Part B. So I enrolled him in a Stand Alone PDP during last AEP. He signed up for Part B using the General Election Period to join Part B in March and it now starts on July 1st. He is not LIS so he does not have SEP just because his Part B begins July 1st. Is that correct?
General Election Period

- Start date
He's in his IEP for med advantage plans if that's what you're looking at
Technically, it's an ICEP from 4/1/6 to 6/30/16 to enroll into an MA/MAPD. And if he's paying for his Part A, he has a special election to choose a different PDP, but I assume he's more or less satisfied with his current PDP.

It is ICEP but either will get the enrollment issued. Some apps don't specify either; they have a "new to Medicare" option. Go with that. I just got one done where the acronyms weren't used, just descriptions like this.

IEP2. For apps that have descriptions instead of codes select "I am already on Medicare but now I am turning 65."
So Medicare eligible prior to 65 and now turning 65? IEP2 for the PDP.
