2 This is only a summary of benefits describing the policies' most important features. The policy is the insurance contract. You must read the policy itself to understand all the rights and duties of both you and your insurance company. These policies may not fully cover all of your medical costs. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina nor its agents are endorsed by or affiliated with the United States government or the federal Medicare program.
3 If you are out of the country more than 60 days, then there is no coverage.
4 Pre-existing conditions are conditions for which medical advice was given or treatment was recommended by or received from a physician within six months before the effective date of coverage. If enrollees wait until after the deadline to enroll they may have a waiting period for pre-existing conditions and may have to complete a medical questionnaire.
5 You cannot be turned down for Blue Medicare Supplement with BCBSNC if you meet the following: you're eligible for Medicare; you enroll within six months of enrolling in Medicare Part B; you're a resident of North Carolina; and you're not covered by certain Medicaid programs.
6 When you enroll in an attained-age plan, your rates will increase as you age, due to your age. Our rates will only increase due to age when you move from one age band to the next. In addition, rate adjustments will also be due to medical inflation or overall claims experience. Rates are subject to change June 1 of each year and are guaranteed for 12 months. Any change in rate will be preceded by a 30-day notice. Members will not be singled out for premium increases based on their individual health. Medicare policies that are attained-age should be compared to issue-age rated policies. Premiums for issue-age policies do not increase due to age as the insured ages.
