Instructions for enrolling after the initial enrollment period.

If you do not decide to enroll in a Medicare Advantage program during your initial enrollment period, you may make changes to your Medicare coverage between October 15^th and December 7^th each year. During this period, you may enroll with a Medicare Advantage Provider, switch Medicare Advantage plans, or you could switch back to original Medicare.

It is also important to note that during the period between January 1^st and February 14^th of each year, which is referred to as the Medicare “open enrollment period,” there are regulations about what changes can be made to your Medicare Advantage coverage. During this period, you are not able to enroll with a Medicare Advantage provider, but you can switch back to original Medicare. You just have to make sure that if you wish to switch back to an original Medicare plan and you wish to set up a Medicare Prescriptions Plan, you must do so before February 14^th.

So, the best time to enroll with a Medicare Advantage provider is during your initial enrollment period or between October 15^th and December 7^th of any year.
If you are not enrolling during your initial enrollment period, it’s important to note that in order to enroll in a Medicare Advantage program; you must already be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B.
