Are you among the many individuals looking to change your Medicare coverage? Many people make this decision to improve access to their healthcare providers or gain coverage for specific medications. Whatever your reason for making the switch, there are a few key things to know before you proceed:
- The general open enrollment period runs from October 15 to December 7, though some states may extend it until January 31.
- If you’re new to a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to Original Medicare during the first year through the trial period.
- During the annual Medicare Advantage open enrollment period, you also have the option to return to Original Medicare.
- Depending on your situation, such as a move or loss of coverage, you may be eligible for a special enrollment period, allowing you to switch plans.
