What if I want to change Medicare plans?

There are two opportunities for Medicare-eligible people to switch plans: the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) October 15 to December 7 and the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) January 1 to March 31.

For example, if you enroll or switch plans in the fall but decide you don't like the plan once your coverage begins in January, you can switch back to Original Medicare or another Medicare Advantage plan before March 31.

You can also change plans anytime you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
