Enrollment Periods
Initial Enrollment Period (IEP): This is a 7-month period beginning 3 months before turning 65, includes the month of your birthday, and continues for 3 months after turning 65. If you have “creditable coverage” such as an employer health plan or a government program, you can defer your Medicare enrollment without a penalty.
Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): This occurs every year between Oct. 15-Dec. 7. This is a time to review your Medicare health and prescription plans with your agent and make changes for the upcoming calendar year.
Special Enrollment Period (SEP): After a “qualifying event” occurs, you have a specific time period in which you can make changes to your Medicare coverage. Examples of qualifying events include losing employer-provided benefits, moving outside of your plan’s service area, gaining or losing Medicaid benefits, moving into or out of a residential care facility, and Trial Rights periods.
Open Enrollment Period (OEP): Occurs annually from Jan. 1 to Mar. 31. During OEP, someone with a Medicare Advantage plan can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or go back to Original Medicare.
