Frequently Asked Questions
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older and some younger people with disabilities or specific medical conditions. It has four parts: Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage plans), and Part D (prescription drug coverage).
The AEP runs from October 15–December 7 each year. During this period, individuals can enroll in, change, or drop their Medicare coverage for the following year.
During AEP, you can:
- Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan (or vice versa).
- Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
- Enroll in, change, or drop a Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plan.
If you miss the December 7 deadline, you will likely need to wait until the following AEP unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), which can occur due to specific life events like moving or losing other insurance.
