Learn about how Open Enrollment works and discover tools available to help you review your options.
Medicare Open Enrollment is the one time of the year when all people with Medicare can review, compare, enroll or dis-enroll in Medicare Advantage, Original Medicare, and Part D drug plans. This is important because health needs may change from year to year; health or drug plan may change the costs, benefits, and drug coverage they offer; provider and pharmacy networks may change. By reviewing and comparing costs and benefits of the plans available for the upcoming year, there is potential to save money and ensure appropriate coverage.
Medicare Open Enrollment runs from mid-October to early December. Coverage of all plans begins January 1 of the following year.
Registration requested, but not required.
