It's a unique situation. If you have PUP, you have to find something else now or they will put you in regular medicare.

Was she on a chronic snp Advantage policy?

Yes we got her enrolled. We called the 1-800-medicare number, spoke to a rep who told us we could enroll in a different plan now to be effective on 1 July. He was ready to go over all the available plans in our area. We selected a plan and went through the application process. We got a confirmation number and should hear from the plan in about 10 days.

He also said our SEP was June/July.

No, she was not on any special plan.

No appointment is necessary, just come and we help people individually on a first-come, first served basis.

Where is the SHINE office located?
