With entry-age plans, when you enroll, you lock in your entry age forever. Rate increases on our entry-age plans are only due to medical inflation or overall claims experience.⁵ So, if you enroll when you’re 65, you’ll always pay the rate of a 65 year old, even when you’re 80!

Pre-existing conditions are conditions for which medical advice was given or treatment was recommended by or received from a physician within six months before the effective date of coverage.
