Yes. A Medicare beneficiary who is enrolled in employer purchased SHOP coverage is treated the same as any other person with employer group health plan coverage. You can delay enrollment if you are covered under an employer’s health plan for you or your spouse current employment. If you’re covered under an employer’s plan, you can sign up for Part B without penalty: Any time you are still covered by the plan. During the eight-month period that begins the month after the employment ends or the coverage ends, whichever happens first. If you do not sign up during this special enrollment period, late enrollment penalties may apply, and you will only be able to sign up during the General Enrollment Period, which occurs annually from January through March with coverage beginning July 1.
