Are You Ready for the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP)?

Know your dates
AEP runs October 15th through December 7th. During AEP, you can shop for a new plan, switch your Medicare Advantage plan, change from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, and add or remove prescription drug coverage*.

Make sure you are eligible
If you are new to Medicare, you need to sign up for Medicare Part A and B before you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan during AEP.
If you already have a Medicare Advantage plan, make sure it meets your needs. You may be able to lower your monthly premium or copayments.

Don’t rely on partial coverage  
Original Medicare (Part A and B) only covers about 80% of your expenses. The remaining 20% is your responsibility and could add up to thousands of dollars each year. To have enough coverage, many people select a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) that includes prescription drug coverage (Part D), and additional benefits like dental, hearing, and more.
