For most people, enrollment is open from November 15 to December 31 each year. And from January 1 to March 31, there are limits on how often you can change your coverage. There are exceptions, so please contact customer service for more information.

To be eligible to enroll, you must be entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B, and continue to pay your Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third party, and live in our service area. Once we verify your eligibility with Medicare, your coverage will become effective the first day of the month after we receive your enrollment form.

Unless your plan includes POS benefits, you must use network providers except for emergencies, urgent care, or out-of-area renal dialysis. If your plan does not include POS benefits and you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers, neither Medicare nor Health First Medicare Plans will be responsible for the cost.

Health First Medicare Plans is an MA organization with a Medicare contract that is renewed annually. Coverage beyond the current year is not guaranteed.
