I want to provide some clarity, as helping members navigate these moments is at the heart of what I do. If your Medicare Advantage plan isn&#039;t renewed, you keep your Medicare eligibility. If you don&#039;t select a new plan, you&#039;ll generally return to Original Medicare by default. The main enrollment window typically opens in early Q4 and closes mid-Q4, with most changes taking effect at the start of the new year. There&#039;s also a special enrollment period that extends through mid-Q1. If you switch to Original Medicare, you may have a protected window to enroll in Medigap: this opens 60 days before your current coverage ends and closes no more than 63 days after. When weighing your options, it\u2019s important to look beyond $0 premiums\u2014be sure to compare doctors, hospitals, prescription coverage, copays, deductibles, and your potential out-of-pocket maximums. Free, unbiased help is available through state counseling programs, and for peace of mind, always confirm your choices with Medicare or a trusted adviser. My commitment is to empower you with information so you can make the best decisions for your health and well-being.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With recent news that a major insurer plans targeted Medicare Advantage exits in 2027\u2014impacting around 600,000 members\u2014many of you may be wondering what this means for your coverage options.
