I'm worried about choosing the wrong plan and being stuck with it. How often can I change my Medicare coverage?

Answer: Hello,

If you have a Medicare Supplement plan, you can make changes at any time. For those with a Medicare Advantage plan, the primary opportunity to switch is during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs from October 15th to December 7th. There is also an Open Enrollment Period (OEP) from January 1st to March 31st; during OEP, if you already have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can change your current plan once. Additionally, there are Special Enrollment Periods triggered by events such as moving to a new address, experiencing major life changes, or natural disasters.
