Dual/LIS Special Election Period Change

Starting in 2025, full dual-eligible beneficiaries will have access to a new monthly SEP, which allows enrollment in highly or fully integrated Dual Special Needs Plans (HIDE/FIDE SNPs).

In addition, any beneficiary qualified for LIS or Medicaid will be eligible for a monthly SEP to disenroll from their Medicare Advantage plan, return to Original Medicare, and enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP).

The quarterly SEP that many have used in the past for dual-eligible individuals and those receiving Part D low-income subsidies (LIS) is no longer available.

The SEP available for the first 3 quarters of the year ended on September 30, 2024.
