TDI Adopts Updates for Medicare Supplement Policies
TDI has adopted updates to the minimum standards for Medicare supplement policies to incorporate changes required by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015. Changes include prohibiting Medicare supplement policies from covering the Medicare Part B deductible for policies issued to individuals who are first eligible for Medicare in 2020, allowing an issuer to replace an individual's certificate with a certificate of the same standardized benefit plan type in another state when the certificate holder moves, and requiring electronic submission of a new Medicare Supplement Refund Calculation Form.
