Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Enrollment Period is from October 15 to December 7. During this time, you have the opportunity to switch to a new plan, which will take effect on January 1st. As plans change their prescription pricing from year to year, your current plan may not be the most affordable option once the new year begins. Choosing the right plan can result in significant annual savings. While you are under no obligation to change plans, it is recommended that you evaluate all of your options to find the plan that best suits your needs. There are also a lot of changes to plans for 2025 including Medicare Payment Plan Options that should be discussed and reviewed!
You can enroll in Original Medicare Parts A and B (hospital and outpatient medical coverage) along with a stand-alone Medicare Part D (drug coverage) plan, also known as a PDP. With the latter option, you can also enroll in a Medigap Supplement plan. Medigap supplements work alongside Original Medicare to help cover any medical deductibles or copays. Alternatively, you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C), also known as MA-PDPs, which combine health and drug coverage under one plan. Advantage plans frequently cover other benefits such as hearing, vision, and dental. In most cases, you would need to continue paying your Part B monthly premium

Medicare Open Enrollment is from October 15 to December 7 every year. During this period, you have the opportunity to switch Medicare plans or enroll in a new plan. If you change plans, your new coverage will begin on January 1 of the new year.
