Does Medicare coverage continue after an Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE) is reinstated?

Medicare coverage does indeed continue after an Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE) is reinstated. The Extended Period of Eligibility is a provision that allows beneficiaries to keep their Medicare coverage while they work and earn income above the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level. This means that once the EPE period is reinstated, the individual maintains their eligibility for Medicare benefits without interruption, ensuring they have access to the necessary healthcare services throughout this time.

This continuity is crucial for beneficiaries who are transitioning back to work or managing changes in their income levels, as it provides them with the reassurance that they can maintain their health services as needed. By understanding this provision, beneficiaries can make informed decisions about their employment and income without the fear of losing essential health coverage.
