When PUP went out of business, my mom was automatically transferred to regular Medicare for a month. We had been told PUP would cease at the end of June, but they stopped at the end of May. So my mom accumulated a bunch of charges under regular Medicare that had been covered by PUP.
We were able to sign her up for another advantage plan without any trouble despite pre-existing conditions. I believe that is a normal function of Medicare to allow this type of switch under special circumstances.
