For those applying outside the current open season, premiums will be based on the applicant’s age at the time the carrier receives the application. During the current open season, all applicants will have premiums based on their age on July 1, 2002, no matter when during the open season they apply. For example, someone who turns age 55 in August applying for coverage in October will get age premiums based on age 54, that person’s age on July 1. This benefit may or may not be applied in a future open season. To request an enrollment kit, call 1-800-582-3337.
