Switch Your Medicare Plan

You're generally not locked into your Medicare plan forever -- annual and special enrollment windows let you switch if your current plan isn't working for you.

Is this right for you?

Your options

Switch during Annual Enrollment

The main annual window each fall for changing Medicare Advantage or Part D plans.

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment

A separate window early in the year for people already on Medicare Advantage to make one plan change.

Special Enrollment Period

May apply if you've had certain life changes -- worth checking if you're outside the normal windows.

Common questions

How often can I switch Medicare plans?

Generally once per year during Annual Enrollment, though some situations allow additional changes -- an agent can confirm what applies to you.

Will switching plans affect my current doctors?

Possibly, if the new plan has a different network -- worth checking specific provider coverage before switching.

Is it worth reviewing my plan every year even if I'm happy with it?

Often yes -- plan costs, networks, and drug formularies can change year to year even if you don't switch, so an annual review can catch changes early.
