Medicare Advantage plans cover your Medicare Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) services-plus more! Most include prescription drug coverage. And many offer extra Benefits like hearing, vision and dental care.
If you switch Medicare Advantage Plans or go back to Original Medicare with or without a Medicare drug plan, your new coverage will start the first day of the month after your new plan gets your request for coverage. Keep in mind, if you go back to Original Medicare now, you may not be able to buy a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy.
A Medicare Plan Finder can help you find, compare, and enroll in a new Medicare Advantage Plan or a Medicare drug plan in your area.
The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period isn’t for people who already have Original Medicare.
It’s important to understand and be confident in your Medicare coverage choices. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan and want to change your plan, check out your options today. Remember, this Medicare Advantage Plan Open Enrollment Period ends March 31.
