Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period Ends March 31

You can switch from your Medicare Advantage Plan to another Medicare Advantage Plan, or to Original Medicare, with or without a stand-alone prescription drug plan (Part D) during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (MA OEP). The MA OEP occurs once each year from January 1 through March 31. You can only use this enrollment period if you currently have a Medicare Advantage Plan. Changes made during this period take effect the first of the month following the month you enroll. For example, if you switch to a new Medicare Advantage Plan in March, your new coverage begins April 1. Unlike Fall Open Enrollment, you can only make a single change during the MA OEP.  If you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan and wish to make changes, please call the HelpLine at 802-885-2669 as soon as possible to arrange for assistance.
