Medicare enrollment period
Like most Medicare options, enrollment in a Medicare Advantage plan is limited to specific times of the year. If you are new to Medicare and want to join a Medicare Advantage plan, you may apply for coverage three months before, the month of, or three months after you become eligible for Medicare Part B coverage. This is called the Medicare Initial Election (or Enrollment) Period.
After this time, people with Medicare generally must wait until the next Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) in order to make a change to their Medicare insurance coverage. The Medicare AEP begins on October 15 and ends on December 7. In certain cases, people with Medicare are allowed to make changes to their coverage at other times of the year. Please contact us for more information about these enrollment periods.
