Cigna: Staying compliant during OEP

January 16, 2024

OEP compliance tips

The annual open enrollment period (OEP) for Medicare Advantage (MA) is here! OEP takes place from January 1 through March 31. During this time, individuals enrolled in an MA plan can make a one-time election to switch to another MA plan (with or without Part D coverage) or return to Original Medicare (with or without Part D coverage).

It's important to know what to do and what not to do during OEP. To help you stay compliant, Cigna has put together some helpful tips below.

During OEP, you can:

  • Market to Medicare Advantage age-ins who have not yet made an enrollment decision.
  • Market to D-SNP-eligible and LIS beneficiaries who, in general, may make changes once per calendar quarter during the first 9 months of the year.
  • Send marketing materials when a customer requests information.
  • Conduct one-on-one meetings at the customer's request.
  • Provide information about OEP through the call center if a customer asks.

During OEP, you cannot:

  • Send unsolicited materials advertising or referencing OEP directly to your customers.
  • Purchase mailing lists or other identifying information to specifically target customers during OEP.
  • Engage in or promote activities intended to target OEP as an opportunity to make further sales.
  • Call or otherwise contact customers who selected a new plan during AEP.
