If you are already a member of the SAMBA Health Plan, you can elect the enhanced level of benefits (UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage (PPO) plan), at any time.
If you are not yet a member of the SAMBA Health Plan, you must enroll in the plan during Open Season or qualifying event before electing the enhanced level of benefits.
Once you are a member of the SAMBA Health Plan, you may enroll into the SAMBA Medicare Advantage Plan any time of the year.
It's important to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B when you first become eligible, during the Initial Enrollment Period. Medicare Part B requires a monthly premium payment for coverage, which is determined by when you enroll. In most cases, premium rates increase by 10 percent for each full 12-month period that you could have had Part B, but were not enrolled.
