When is the Medicare Annual Election Period Enrollment Period?

The Annual Election Period takes place October 15 to December 7 and is available to all MA and Part D eligible beneficiaries                                                                               

During the Annual Election Period:

• Beneficiaries may add or drop MA and/or drug coverage, or return to Original Medicare.
• No action is needed if the beneficiary chooses to keep his/her current plan. She/he should check for any benefit changes under the plan.
• Beneficiaries may make more than one enrollment choice during the Annual Election Period, but the last one made prior to the end of the Annual Election Period, as determined by the date the plan or marketing representative receives the completed enrollment form, will be the election that takes effect.
