CLOSEOpen Enrollment Period (OEP)
Extends from January 1 through March 31 each year, during which you have one opportunity to enroll in, disenroll from or change a Medicare Advantage plan. Changes made during Open Enrollment become effective the month after the change is made. (You may not add or drop Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage during this time.)
