In late September, UHC notified of an exclusive offer for select former AARP Medicare Supplement members to return to the plan without being underwritten.
Effective immediately, this offer has been discontinued for any applications received beginning December 5, 2019 for consumers residing in the state of Ohio. Former members can still enroll into an AARP Medicare Supplement Plan to take advantage of beneficial services with At Your Best by UnitedHealthcare™ and receive the improved Enrollment Discount (if eligible); however, they will likely be subject to underwriting, unless they qualify for a Guaranteed Acceptance situation.
