Not for your first Medicare sign-up, because Medicare open enrollment Cape Coral residents hear about every fall is designed for people who already have Medicare Parts A and B and want to change their coverage.
What Is Medicare Open Enrollment?
Medicare open enrollment, also called the Annual Enrollment Period or AEP, runs October 15 through December 7, and changes generally begin January 1. It is the yearly window when people already enrolled in Medicare can review and change their coverage.
What You Can Change During Open Enrollment
You can switch between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, move from one Medicare Advantage plan to another, or join, change, or drop a standalone Part D prescription drug plan. Plan costs, networks, and drug lists change every year, so a yearly review is wise even if you are satisfied with what you have now. Medigap and Part D rules also come with timing considerations, so it helps to ask questions early rather than waiting until the last week.
Other Medicare Enrollment Periods
If you are new to Medicare, you will usually need a different window, such as the Initial Enrollment Period around your 65th birthday, which lasts seven months. Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment, January 1 through March 31, is only for people already in Medicare Advantage. A Special Enrollment Period may also apply after a move or the loss of other coverage.
