Employer/Union Group Health Plan Sponsorship of Individual MA

10.2 – Employer/Union Group Health Plan Sponsorship of Individual MA Plans (Rev. 111, 05-03-13, Effective: 05-03-13, Implementation: 05-03-13) As stated in §10.1, in addition to EGWPs, employer/union group health plan sponsors may choose to enroll their Medicare beneficiaries in individual MA plans. These MA plans do not qualify for the entire employer/union group health plan waivers outlined below in this chapter (and also in Appendix II). Those waivers that apply to employer/union group sponsorship of individual MA plans are specifically identified in §20 (e.g., actuarial benefit swapping, group enrollment/disenrollment process, special enrollment periods (SEPs), and the annual open enrollment period waiver).
