Your Options During Open Enrollment
During Open Enrollment what you can do depends on the kind of coverage you have now.
Change Your Medicare Advantage Plan
Join, drop, or switch to another Medicare Advantage Plan with or without drug coverage (or add or drop drug coverage).
Change Your Drug Plan
Join, drop, or switch to another Medicare drug plan if you’re in Original Medicare.
Change How You Get Coverage
Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan or from a Medicare Advantage Plan to Original Medicare.
What Else Should I Know if I Switch to Original Medicare?
If you switch to Original Medicare, you may need to join a separate drug plan and may want to add Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap). Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) is extra insurance you can buy from a private health insurance company to help pay your share of out-of-pocket costs in Original Medicare. There are limits on when you can add it.
