3 STATEMENTS You do not need more than one Medicare supplement, select or cost policy. If you purchase DeanCare Gold (Cost), you may want to evaluate your existing health coverage and decide if you need multiple coverages. You may be eligible for benefits under Medicaid and may not need a Medicare Supplement, Select or Cost policy. If, after purchasing DeanCare Gold (Cost), you become eligible for Medicaid, this plan s benefits and premiums can be suspended, during your entitlement to Medicaid benefits, for 24 months. You must request this suspension within 90 days of becoming eligible for Medicaid. If you are no longer entitled to Medicaid, your DeanCare Gold (Cost) plan (or a substantially equivalent policy) will be reinstituted, if you request reinstitution, within 90 days of losing Medicaid eligibility If you are eligible for and have enrolled in a Medicare Cost policy by reason of disability and you later become covered by an employer or union-based group health plan, the benefits and premiums under your Medicare Cost policy can be suspended, if requested, while you are covered under the employer or union based group health plan. If you suspend your Medicare Cost policy under these circumstances, and later lose your employer or union based group health plan, your suspended Medicare Cost policy or, if that is no longer available, a substantially equivalent policy will be reinstituted if requested within 90 days of losing your employer or union based group health plan. If the Medicare supplement, Select or Cost policy provided coverage for outpatient prescription drugs and you enrolled in Medicare Part D while your policy was suspended, the reinstituted policy will not have outpatient prescription drug coverage, but will otherwise be substantially equivalent to your coverage before the date of suspension. Counseling services may be available in your state or provide advice concerning your purchase of Medicare Cost insurance and medical assistance through the state Medicaid program, including benefits as a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) and a Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB).
