A one-time enrollment period (January 1 to June 30, 2022) is established for eligible individuals with ESRD to enroll in any Medigap policy.

This law ensures individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) have guaranteed access to supplemental health insurance (Medigap), regardless of age. It also extends the period during which their private insurance pays first, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs.
