Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is a crucial time each year for Medicare beneficiaries. It allows you to make changes to your Medicare coverage, ensuring you have the best possible plan for your needs. If you’re already enrolled in Medicare, understanding the Annual Enrollment Period is essential to managing your healthcare effectively.

What is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)?

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7 every year. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to review their current coverage and make necessary changes. Whether you’re considering switching Medicare Advantage plans, updating your prescription drug coverage, or returning to Original Medicare, the AEP is your chance to adjust your plan to better suit your healthcare needs.

Why is the Annual Enrollment Period Important?

Your healthcare needs and financial situation may change from year to year. The AEP allows you to

Adjust Your Coverage: Ensure your plan still meets your health needs and budget.

Avoid Penalties: Make necessary changes to avoid penalties or gaps in coverage.

Take Advantage of New Benefits: New plans or additional benefits may be available that weren’t offered before.

What Changes Can You Make During AEP?

Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan

If you want more coverage, including additional benefits like dental, vision, and hearing.

Switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan back to Original Medicare

If you decide that Original Medicare better suits your needs.
