Fall Medicare Open Enrollment Period (AEP): October 15 – December 7
Medicare's fall open enrollment period, more formally known as the Annual Enrollment Period or AEP, lasts from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 every year. During AEP, you may enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan or switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
You may also disenroll from your current Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare.
During AEP, you may also join, switch or drop a Medicare Part D plan.
You may potentially be granted a Medicare Special Enrollment Period (SEP) at any time throughout the year, but only if you meet a specific qualifying circumstance.
