What is Medicare Open Enrollment and when is it?
The Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. During this time, you can review your current Medicare coverage and make changes.
If you are already enrolled in Medicare, during open enrollment, you can switch from original Medicare to Medicare Advantage (or do the opposite). You can also switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another. And you can switch or leave a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. You can also switch to a new private insurer for your supplemental plan.
