The Medicare Open Enrollment Period (OEP) remains open until March 31.
-
Medicare Advantage members may make limited changes to their Medicare plans.
-
Individuals must already be enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.
- They are able to either:
-
Switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan
-
Return to Original Medicare
-
Only one plan change is permitted during the Medicare Advantage OEP.
- Plan changes will be effective the first of the month following enrollment.
New Special Enrollment Periods (SEP) are available for dually eligible beneficiaries.
-
Dual/LIS SEP: allows beneficiaries to switch to Original Medicare and a standalone prescription drug plan. This can be used once per month.
-
Integrated Care SEP: allows dual-eligible beneficiaries (Medicare and Medicaid) to enroll in an integrated dual eligible special needs plan (e.g., FIDE-SNP, HIDE-SNP, AIP). This can be used once per month. The member must be with the same MCO for Medicaid or in the process of enrolling into the same MCO for Medicaid.
