Your Initial Enrollment Period beings three months before your 65th birthday, includes the month of your 65th birthday and continues for another three months after your birth month.

If you're already enrolled in a Part C plan, you may switch Medicare Advantage plans or drop your Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare from January 1 to March 31 each year.
If you switch to Original Medicare during this period, you'll also have a chance to sign up for a Medicare standalone prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D).
Fall Medicare Open Enrollment Period (AEP): October 15 – December 7
You may enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan or switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another during the fall Medicare open enrollment period, better known as the Annual Enrollment Period or AEP, which lasts from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 every year.
You may also drop your existing Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare.
You may also join, switch or drop a Medicare Part D plan during AEP. This period is also sometimes called the Annual Election Period.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be granted a Medicare Special Enrollment Period (SEP) at any time throughout the year.
