Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs) enable Medicare beneficiaries to make Part D plan enrollment changes in several special situations. It is critical for counselors to have a clear understanding of who qualifies for a SEP and when to act in order to assist beneficiaries in accessing their medications. While SEPs allow beneficiaries to switch to Part D plans that may suit their needs better, determining SEP eligibility can be confusing. As the Open Enrollment Period progresses, it becomes more important to review how SEPs can be used and under what specific circumstances.
