When can I enroll?
There are two enrollment periods that you can enroll in, known as the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period and the Medicare Open Enrollment Period.
Medicare Annual Enrollment Period
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) occurs during the fall each year between October 15 and December 7. The AEP is when you can change from Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to Medicare Advantage (MA) and vice versa, add a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) to your Original Medicare benefits, or switch from one MA or PDP plan to another.
There are many reasons to join a Medicare Advantage plan during the AEP, which include:
- Medicare Advantage includes Original Medicare - these plans include Original Medicare Part A and Part B benefits, which makes a Medicare Advantage plan a convenient way to get your Part A hospital insurance, Part B medical insurance, and extra health benefits that can help maintain your health.
- Original Medicare does not include prescription drug benefits - Capital Health Plan Medicare Advantage (HMO) plans include prescription drug benefits.
- Medicare Advantage limits your out-of-pocket spending - Medicare Advantage plans have a yearly out-of-pocket maximum for covered Part A and Part B medical expenses unlike Original Medicare.
Medicare Open Enrollment Period
In 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) added a new Open Enrollment Period (OEP) that will be held from January 1 through March 31 every year. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you will have a one-time opportunity to:
- Switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan;
- Disenroll from your current Medicare Advantage plan and enroll in Original Medicare (Part A & B);
- Enroll in a stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, if you return to Original Medicare. Note that most Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage; or
- Disenroll from your stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan.
Am I eligible for Capital Health Plan Medicare Advantage (HMO) plans?
Medicare Advantage plans are available to individuals who are entitled to Medicare Part A, enrolled in Medicare Part B, live in the Capital Health Plan service area, and do not have End Stage Renal Disease. Capital Health Plan Medicare Advantage plans will provide all of your Medicare benefits and services, including prescription drug coverage (Medicare Parts A, B, and D).
