Medicare Enrollment Periods
There are specific times when you can join, change, or drop a Medicare plan. In other words, you are not allowed to enroll or disenroll whenever you want. Here are the five Medicare enrollment periods:
​
1. Initial Enrollment Period
This is when you first become eligible for Medicare, which for most people is when they turn 65. You may sign up for Medicare Parts A and B as well as a Medicare health plan:
  • 3 months before your birthday month
  • Your birthday month
  • 3 months after your birthday month

If you are eligible before age 65 based on disability or other criteria, you also have a 7-month Initial Enrollment Period.

2. Annual Election Period
This is a short window of time each fall when all Medicare beneficiaries are allowed to change or drop a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan. For 2017 it's Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Coverage changes are effective Jan. 1.

3. Open Enrollment Period (OEP)
  • If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (with or without drug coverage), you can switch to another Medicare Advantage Plan (with or without drug coverage).
  • You can drop your Medicare Advantage Plan and return to Original Medicare. You'll also be able to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.
What can't I do?
  • Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan.
  • Join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan if you're in Original Medicare.
  • Switch from one Medicare Prescription Drug Plan to another if you're in Original Medicare.

4. Special Enrollment Periods
Special Enrollment Periods exist for beneficiaries who lose coverage because of certain qualifying events. For example, you can enroll outside of the standard enrollment periods if you:
  • Lose employer-sponsored or group coverage
  • Move out of your plan's service area
  • Are also eligible for Medicaid
  • Live in a nursing home
​
5. 5-Star Special Enrollment Period
CMS measures health plan quality on a scale of 1 to 5 stars (a 5-Star rating is the highest) to help you make an informed decision about your coverage. You can switch to a 5-Star plan any time during the year under these guidelines:
  • You may switch one time. (After you switch, your next opportunity to make a change is during the Medicare Annual Election Period.)
  • Your current plan must be either Original Medicare (with or without a Medigap plan) or a Medicare Advantage plan.
