Attention agents who offer AARP® Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans from UnitedHealthcare® in Texas.

Effective September 1, 2025, insurance carriers are required to provide a 6-month open enrollment period beginning the first day of the first month an individual residing in Texas enrolls in Medicare Part B if they are under the age of 65 and qualify for Medicare by reason of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). During this period:
