Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is a window of time that happens every year in the fall from Oct. 15 until Dec. 7, which gives people who already have Medicare the opportunity to switch to a new plan or make changes to their existing plan. Those changes would take effect Jan. 1 of the coming year.

It's important to know that the Annual Enrollment Period is an opportunity, not an obligation. If you have a plan and you're satisfied, your plan can renew automatically.

• Switch from a Medicare supplement plan to a Medicare Advantage plan
• Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another 
• Join, switch, or drop a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan
• Change from Original Medicare (Parts A & B) to a Medicare Advantage plan with or without built-in drug coverage
• Change from Medicare Advantage back to Original Medicare

Whether your plan is no longer fitting your health care needs or budget, or you would like to access more benefits, the Annual Enrollment Period is your chance to make a change! Don't miss your window to update your plan - call 937.379.8823 or schedule an appointment to speak with an advisor.
