Helpful Hints
When the Open Enrollment season ends and you realize your choice of a Medicare Advantage plan was wrong, all is not lost.
There is a Medicare Advantage (MA) Open Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31, 2026. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan:
- You can change to another MA plan.
- Also you can switch back to Medicare A & B and choose a Part D (Drug) plan.
We can help you review these plans by comparing prices and benefits. We can check the plans’ network of providers to see if your providers are in-network and compare estimated prescription drug costs.
