What Is Medicare Open Enrollment?
Medicare open enrollment is the annual window to change your Medicare health and drug coverage for the next year. It is not the time when most people first sign up for Medicare. If you are new, you usually enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period instead. You don't need a special reason to make a change. A lower premium or better drug coverage is reason enough. Your enrollment request must be received by December 7 for coverage to begin on January 1.
What You Can Change
You can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage plan, join, switch, or drop a standalone Part D plan, move from Medicare Advantage back to Original Medicare, or move from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage.
Why Review Your Plan Every Year
Premiums, networks, and drug formularies can all change. A low monthly premium doesn't always mean the lowest total yearly cost, so look at deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket limits. Bring a medication list, your doctors' names, and your preferred pharmacies to your review. Your Annual Notice of Change in the fall explains exactly how your plan is changing for 2027, so read it before you decide.
Other Enrollment Periods
The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs January 1 through March 31 for people already in a Medicare Advantage plan. Certain life events, such as moving or losing other coverage, may also qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period. Eligibility depends on your situation, so ask a local licensed agent for guidance. Review early. Bring your plan documents.
