If an individual was disenrolled after moving, when can they enroll in a new plan?

When an individual is disenrolled from their current Medicare plan due to moving, they qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). This Special Enrollment Period allows these individuals to enroll in a new plan without having to wait for the typical enrollment windows, such as the regular Open Enrollment Period.

Specifically, for those who move, the SEP lasts for a total of six months following the move. This duration offers flexibility for individuals to adjust their health coverage in response to their new circumstances. It ensures that they have sufficient time to research and select a plan that better suits their healthcare needs in their new location.

The other answer choices do not provide the correct timeframe allowed for enrollment after disenrollment due to moving. Immediate enrollment might suggest one can start immediately, but the full range of options is available during the entire six-month period to make informed decisions about health insurance options. Similarly, one month or two months after disenrollment is not enough time to fully exercise the options available under the Special Enrollment Period. The six-month window is designed to aid individuals in transitioning to new plans effectively.
