It depends on each person's medical history. You do have to pass underwriting to move from a Medicare Advantage plan to Medicare with a Supplemental. One of the advantages of selecting Medicare with a Supplemental Plan when you first become eligible is that you are unconditionally accepted. I believe you can make a change during your first year without underwriting. You used the word "most"; this means more than half. I would not be surprised if more than half the people on Medicare Advantage plans would fail underwriting if they tried to switch to Medicare with a Supplemental. There are a few states in the northeast that disallow the underwriting requirement.
