OEP Question

[goillini52]

I'm on a Facebook 10 k Medicare group . Some very experienced agents are saying if the oep has not become effective it will knock out the other app . Also if you have Medicare only you can sign up for a 5 star plan any time of the yr .

I don't really do MAPD, just posting something that a MAPD carrier sent in an email. I'm sure you got the same email.

I do know this . We'll all learn till the day we die I'm Medicare . It's really mind numbing the many of 10's of thousands of things to learn or that change .. I take calls for Aca from on demand threw the mkt place . It's been really good . I bet I sold 25 lives threw it . Last wed I take a call . Ladies a permanent resident from El Salvador . I write her and her husband . She texts me the next day she knows 3-4 families that desperately need my help . Several spoke very little English . But all legal residents or citizens .Friday night o ever out there at 6 pm . I was there till 11 . I wrote 6 family's . Amazingly all had tax returns they brought done by a cpa . But I had never done a resident before . So we had to call mkt place . Always something to learn .

No election period is ever considered used until the plan it was used for actually becomes effective.

Since both apps were written in January using the OEP election for coverage to start Feb 1, then in this situation the last app in would win. Now if an OEP app was taken in Jan, then another OEP app could not be taken in February.

this was mt thinking but wanted to be sure
