You can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage Plan at these times:
- When you first become eligible for Medicare (3 months before you turn age 65 to 3 months after the month you turn age 65). If you get Medicare due to a disability, you can join during the 3 months before to 3 months after your 25th month of disability.
- Between November 15 – December 31 each year. If you sign up during this period your coverage will begin on January 1 of the following year.
- Between January 1 – March 31 of each year. However, you can't join or switch to a plan with prescription drug coverage during this time unless you already have Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). You also can't drop a plan with prescription drug coverage or join, switch, or drop a Medicare Medical Savings Account Plan during this period.
