Important notice for AARP Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans in Virginia

As of July 1, 2025, an Annual 61-day Birthday Enrollment period will be implemented in Virginia that impacts AARP® Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans from UnitedHealthcare®.

Residents of Virginia may replace their current Medicare Supplement plan with a Medicare Supplement plan with the same benefits (i.e., same letter plan) * and will not be underwritten.

To qualify,

• Applicant must be replacing their current Medicare Supplement plan with another Medicare Supplement plan with the same benefits (i.e., same letter plan)*
• Applicant must provide proof of their current Medicare Supplement plan, including the carrier and plan code.          
• UnitedHealthcare must receive their application on their birthday or during the following 60 days.

Virginia residents who are enrolled in an AARP Medicare Supplement plan will be notified before their Birthday Enrollment Period, annually, via mail with a postcard.

Applications will reflect a new question in the near future. In the meantime, whether you are using a paper agent enrollment kit or JarvisEnroll, if the applicant is eligible for the Annual 61-day Birthday Enrollment period, please answer “Yes” to the following application question:

Have you lost or are you losing other health insurance coverage and you received a notice from your prior insurer saying you are eligible for guaranteed issue of a Medicare supplement insurance policy or that you have certain rights to buy such a policy?

Applications that qualify for the Virginia Annual Birthday Enrollment Period are considered Guaranteed Issue, and commissions will be paid according to the Medicare Supplement commission schedule.
