When Can You Enroll

Switching into a New Plan
If you are enrolled in a plan by Dec 31, you have from Jan 1 - March 31 to make one of the following changes: 

1. if you’re in a drug plan, you may switch to a MA Plan with drug coverage; 
   
   
2. if you’re in a MA Plan with drug coverage, you may switch to another plan that includes drug coverage; 
   
   
3. if you’re in a plan without drug coverage, you may switch to another plan without drug coverage. 

BE CAREFUL: you may only switch once. However, you may also switch plans in certain circumstances—for example: if you move out the plan’s service area or if you have both Medicare and Medicaid.   Enrollment dates may differ for SNPs and MSAs.
