The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period – AEP for short – is a set time each year for changing your Medicare coverage choices if you choose to. AEP runs from October 15 to December 7. New coverage choices go into effect on January 1. You can make a variety of changes, none of which involve medical underwriting: Switch from Medicare Advantage to Original Medicare or vice versa. Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another one. You can also make changes to your Medicare coverage —including your Part D prescription drug plan—during the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP). This is sometimes called the Open Enrollment Period or Fall Open Enrollment.
