What is the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period?

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, also known as the Medicare Open Enrollment Period, occurs each year from October 15 to December 7. During this time, beneficiaries have the opportunity to review and make changes to their Medicare coverage. Individuals can switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another, or return to Original Medicare from a Medicare Advantage plan. In addition, beneficiaries can enroll in or drop a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) during this period. It is essential for beneficiaries to assess their current health care needs and review their existing plans, as coverage, costs, and available plans may change from year to year. MedicareMall provides valuable resources and information that can assist beneficiaries in understanding their options during this enrollment window.
