Medicare Coverage Changes Every Year!
January 1 - March 31: Medicare Advantage "Open Enrollment Period".
During these three months, you can change your Medicare Advantage plan to get equivalent coverage from a different plan. As long as you already enrolled in Part D before December 31st, you may also be able to change drug coverage. This period can be very useful for people who find that their current coverage is inadequate, or a new plan might work better for them. Also in January through March is the Medicare General Enrollment Period. People who are late in signing up for Original Medicare (Part A or Part B) can sign up now, so their coverage will take effect in July.
Medicare can be confusing. If you're not sure how to proceed, there is help! Call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (633-4227). They are open 24 hours a day, 363 days per year.
