General Election Period

Just checking to make sure of this. I had a gentlemen that went on SS disability and became eligible for Medicaid until his Medicare started last April, 2015. For some reason, his Medicare Part B did not start then, only his Part A. He says he did not turn down Part B. So I enrolled him in a Stand Alone PDP during last AEP. He signed up for Part B using the General Election Period to join Part B in March and it now starts on July 1st. He is not LIS so he does not have SEP just because his Part B begins July 1st. Is that correct?
