The goal of a retail program is to reach and engage potential Medicare beneficiaries in person, allowing them to learn about Medicare Advantage plans, ask questions, and enroll in a plan on the spot.
Retail programs can be particularly effective in areas with a significant senior population and in locations where there is a higher demand for face-to-face interactions.

Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for qualifying Medicare beneficiaries Nationwide
Overview of SEP during a declared disaster or other emergency
A special enrollment period (SEP) exists for individuals affected by a disaster or other emergency declared by a federal, state or local government entity who were unable to, and did not make an election during another valid election period.
Public Health Emergency (Due to COVID-19 pandemic)
Nationwide
4/16/2022 - 7/15/2022
4/16/2022 - 9/30/2022
Who's eligible?
Individuals are eligible for this SEP if they:
Reside, or resided at the start of the SEP eligibility period, described in this guidance, in an area for which a federal, state or local government entity has declared a disaster or other emergency. Or, they do not reside in an affected area, but rely on help making health care decisions from one or more individuals who reside in an affected area; and
Were eligible for another election period at the time of the SEP eligibility period; and
Did not make an election during that other valid election period due to the disaster or other emergency.
Enrollment instructions
IMPORTANT: Remember, you cannot use this SEP opportunity to proactively market to beneficiaries. However, you can assist any clients who contact you about this SEP.
If an individual wants to enroll and believes they may qualify for this SEP, you need to ask the beneficiary if they can show proof that they lived/live in an impacted area at the start of the incident period. If they do not have proof, ask them to verbally attest.
When helping eligible clients enroll, please select the weather-related or major disaster option in the Reasons for Special Enrollment Period Eligibility section of the application.
