[Incentives for early enrollment
Lock in your entry age
There are huge advantages to enrolling in [Blue Medicare
SupplementSM] coverage within the first six
months of enrolling in Medicare Part B. When you enroll, you
lock in your entry age forever. Rate
adjustments will be made only due to medical inflation or

when you’re 80!

No waiting periods
If you enroll early you may be eligible for this plan
without medical underwriting and waiting periods
for pre-existing conditions. Pre-existing conditions are
conditions for which medical advice was given
or treatment was recommended by or received from a physician
within six months before the effective
date of coverage. If you wait until after the deadline to
enroll, you may have a waiting period for preexisting
conditions.
