Question

T/F: When a client signs up for an MAPD during IEP the client can still switch to another MAPD even if the plan is already effective and they are still in the IEP window?

Answer 1

Clients can switch to a different MAPD plan during their IEP, which is around their 65th birthday and lasts for 7 months, as long as they are within this window.

Step-by-step explanation:

True: When a client signs up for a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plan during their Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), they have the flexibility to switch to another MAPD plan if they are still within their IEP window. The IEP is a period when someone first becomes eligible for Medicare, typically around their 65th birthday, which lasts for 7 months (the three months before their birthday, the month of their birthday, and the three months after). Clients can make changes to their coverage because their choice is not locked in until the IEP window closes.
