FEMA Emergency medicare special enrollment period

Emergency Special Enrollment Period For North Carolina Medicare Enrollees

Did you know a FEMA emergency might qualify you for a Medicare Special Enrollment Period?
It generally depends on what state or county you live in, among other things. FEMA is the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. When there’s an event like a severe storm, wildfire, pandemic illness, or other disaster, FEMA can declare an emergency.
