Understand Original Medicare, Parts A and B, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement insurance, and prescription drug coverage.
Compare available Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D options. Review premiums, out-of-pocket costs, provider networks, pharmacies, and prescription coverage.
Understand enrollment windows, what information you may need, and the steps involved in applying for coverage.
Review your current coverage as benefits, costs, provider networks, prescriptions, or personal needs change from year to year.
Explore whether a qualifying life event may give you an opportunity to make a Medicare plan change outside the usual enrollment periods.
Get help understanding coverage questions and navigating next steps as your circumstances change.
A Special Enrollment Period (SEP) may allow you to join, switch, or drop certain Medicare Advantage or Medicare prescription drug plans outside the standard enrollment periods when specific circumstances apply.
There are different SEPs for different situations. The plans you can choose and the time you have to make a change depend on the event and your circumstances.
You move to a new address outside your current plan’s service area, or to an area where you have new plan options.
You lose certain employer, union, or other qualifying health or prescription drug coverage.
You gain, lose, or have a change in eligibility for Medicaid or Extra Help paying for Medicare prescription drug costs. Some situations allow more frequent plan changes than others.
Living in or recently leaving a nursing home or another qualifying institution may create a special opportunity to change coverage.
Your plan’s contract with Medicare ends, the plan is not renewed, or another qualifying plan-related event occurs.
Some circumstances—such as qualifying for a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan or certain exceptional situations—may provide a separate enrollment opportunity.
Not every life change creates a Special Enrollment Period, and an SEP does not always allow every type of Medicare change. The time window may be limited, and you may need documents to confirm what happened and when.
Special Enrollment Periods for Medicare Advantage and Part D are also different from the rules for enrolling in or changing a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy. Medigap rights and underwriting rules depend on your circumstances and state protections.
If you think you may qualify, it’s important to review the details before making a change. I can help you understand the questions to ask and compare available plan options. For official eligibility details, visit Medicare.gov’s Special Enrollment Period information or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
