Medicare Guaranteed-Issue Intake Checklist

Complete all fields before confirming GI eligibility. Do not mark a case "GI confirmed" without reviewing the actual notice. A retiring plan ID alone does not prove guaranteed issue.

Required before confirming GI

  • !Review the actual ANOC or termination notice — do not rely on plan ID alone.
  • !Confirm whether the plan or contract is ending, or only the service area is reduced.
  • !Confirm whether the member is being crosswalked to a successor plan.
  • !Verify Original Medicare effective date — affects Plan C/F eligibility.
  • !Plan N is NOT the federal guaranteed-issue substitute for Plan C or F.
  • !Do not imply GI to the caller before document review is complete.
