Is it Time to Change Your Medicare Plan?

Here are the options to make changes to your Medicare plans.

  • (IEP) Initial Enrollment Period

    • The 7-month window when you turn 65 to enroll in Original Medicare Part A and Part B

      • Three months before your 65th birthday

      • The month of your 65th birthday

      • Three months after your 65th birthday

  • (OEP) Open Enrollment Period

    • January 1st - March 31st each year

    • You may change your Medicare Advantage Plan or return to your Original Medicare

  • (SEP) Special Enrollment Period

    • You can change your coverage after a qualifying event, such as:

      • Moved

      • Dual Eligible with Medicaid

      • Medicaid

      • Extra Help

  • (AEP) Annual Election Period

    • October 15th - December 7th during this timeframe, you can make the following changes:

      • Change from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan

      • Change from a Medicare Advantage Plan to Original Medicare

      • Go from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another

      • Change from a Part D Plan to another

      • Join a Part D Plan

      • Drop a Part D Plan

There are circumstances where you can make changes throughout the year, and this is where our licensed agents can help.

  • If you've had a change of address

  • If you qualify for Extra Help

  • If you are eligible for Medicaid

  • If you are on Medicaid

No matter the circumstances, and if there is a Special Election Period, it is always good to have a Medicare Benefits Review. Plans and benefits change yearly, not to mention increases in Medigap (Medicare Supplement) premium prices.
