You May Also Qualify for a Medicare Special Enrollment Period

If you experience a life event like moving or retiring, a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) allows you to make changes to your Medicare Advantage or drug coverage.

Life Events Include:

  • Losing current coverage
  • Moving
  • Retiring
  • Changes to your Medicare plan
  • Gaining new health coverage eligibility
  • Changes to your eligibility status

SEPs last two to three months. If you lose your job, Medicare Part B enrollment can extend to eight months.

During Your SEP, You Can:

  • Enroll in Medicare Part A and/or Part B
  • Make changes to your Medicare Advantage or drug plan

If you experience a qualifying life event and enroll in Medicare Part A or Part B during a Special Enrollment Period, you have two months to select a Medicare Advantage Plan (with or without drug coverage) or a standalone Part D plan.

Think you may qualify for a SEP?
