Update-Medicare Advantage Plan (BC/BS-Emblem) for NYC Retirees

What is the timely filing period for the new Alliance Medicare Advantage Plan (BC/BS-Emblem) for NYC retirees. Original Medicare is 1 yr. What will it be for the new plan? Any further information on how to check deductibles online versus calling BC/BS for this information?

Please see the link below- this Medicare Advantage plan is not going to be in effect as of this January. Because of the lawsuits and pushback from retirees and other groups, the next proposed date is January 2023. Current NYC retirees who are enrolled in Medicare and Emblem Health/GHI secondary will not have any changes to their coverage for the upcoming year.
