If you choose original medicare when you're first eligible, and you decide to purchase a supplement plan to pay the 20% medicare doesn't cover, no pre existing requirements are allowed. If you initially choose a MA and at a later time find your MA plan is no longer offered and you then decide to choose original medicare, a supplemental plan can apply pre existing conditions that can last from 6 mo to a year.
