[Let’s see if there are any other changes we need to make to the health insurance coverage [you/(SP)] had
as of (REFERENCE DATE).] [(You/(SP)] had Medicare coverage (through a managed care plan) and (you
were/he was/she was) also covered by [READ PLAN NAMES BELOW]./The only health insurance coverage
[you/(SP)] had was Medicare (through a managed care plan)] on (REFERENCE DATE). Is that correct?
