How to Enroll when the New Medicare is in the Mail

I don't understand the response. Without that Part D date it can be argued that no agent can really know when to use the IEP/ICEP election. That date can really clarify the election that should be used particularly in a situation when the person has delayed the Part B from the start of Part A/D.

1. The thread is about what to do if they're waiting on their Medicare Claim Card with their # on it. While they will need the card/Claim # to get Part D, Part D has nothing to do with this card.

2.Why not get the Part D date as well? It might not be on the card, but it's a thing. Things always make my day.

"new Medicare card (one with the start date on part b)"

they have the number already as it does not change
The part B date is the only issue

----------

You don't need the card you know what date they applied for
Unless there are some crazy intangible you submit with proposed date

Ins company will let you know if anything else is needed

Otherwise, I may speak with them and sign them while you wait for new card
