Answer:

I could tell Mr. Garcia that if the SEP he had allowed MA coverage, he can change that coverage if he finds it convenient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Special Enrollment Period (SEP) is a time reserved each year where citizens can enroll in health insurance where the conditions of each individual allow. This occurs with the evaluation of events in the life of that citizen that qualifies him / her for a health plan that will be more advantageous for him / her. As an example of these events we can mention weddings, number of children, change of city, adoption of children, change of job among others.

In the case shown in the question above, Mr. Garcia is qualified to participate in the SEP, but he lost the document that explains what he could do during the SEP. In this case, if the SEP that he had allowed MA coverage, he can change that coverage, if he finds it convenient.
