A ceased beneficiary who appeals the medical cessation may request SBC of only Medicare
coverage without also requesting SBC cash benefits.
NOTE: SBC does not apply to Medicare Qualified Government Employees (MQGE) only cases.
-
•
The beneficiary may elect SBC of both Parts A and B or only Part A or Part B.
-
•
An individual who was entitled to Part A only at the time of his/her disability entitlement
may enroll for Part B coverage only during the General Enrollment Period of January
through March, with entitlement effective with the following July. Therefore, where
an individual elects Medicare-only, then only the Medicare coverage that was in effect
as of the date of disability termination will continue.
