Medicare Advantage

I just became eligible for Medicare this summer and signed up for a Medicare Advantage plan, but I’m still not sure if I like my plan. Can I switch plans during this year’s Medicare Open Enrollment period?

Yes. You can change Medicare Advantage plans or switch to traditional Medicare between October 15 and December 7 each year. You can also use the annual Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment period (January 1-March 31) to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or switch to traditional Medicare.

While we have made every effort to provide accurate information in these FAQs, people should contact the health insurance Marketplace or Medicaid agency in their state for guidance on their specific circumstances.
