Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is a window of time that happens every year from Oct. 15 until Dec. 7 and 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 following 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 with it, 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 no longer fits your 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.
