Annual Enrollment Period

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7 each year. During AEP you can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan, with changes generally taking effect January 1.

This is general education, not personalized advice, and plan details change every year. For all of your options, contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at shiphelp.org.
