From October 15 to December 7, Medicare recipients can review and compare their plans for the upcoming year.

Changes made during this period take effect on January 1.

Compare Medicare Advantage (Part C) and prescription drug plans (Part D).
Switch between plans at no cost.
💡 Why it matters: Benefits, costs, and providers can change annually, so reviewing your options might save you money or improve your coverage.

⚠️ Note: Switching from Medicare Advantage to traditional Medicare doesn't guarantee acceptance into a Medigap plan; health underwriting may apply.
