What should I do if I miss the Medicare Open Enrollment period, and I want to change my plan?
Answered by 6 licensed agents
Moving to a new plan area.
Enrollment in a 5 star plan.
Losing health insurance.
Weather related disasters.
Annual enrollment. Is October 15th through December 7th. If you miss that enrollment period and you are a current Medicare Advantage member, You have 1 more opportunity to change plans January 1st through March 31st.
So from April 1st through December 31st you are locked into your plan unless you meet a special election period requirement.

Other enrollment periods called Special Election Periods (SEP’S) come into play or allows a person to change plans such as moving from one service area to another, or a plan pulls out, or a person is released from incarceration. There are a lot more more SEP”s than I just mentioned.
Need help? Give me a call Monday thru Saturday to about 6:30 in the evening at 615-506-9024.

Medicare Supplemental or Medigap is all medically underwritten so you can apply anytime as long as you know you can qualify.
