It is time to compare your Medicare plan options for 2027!

The Medicare Advantage & Prescription Drug Plan Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) takes place annually between October 15 and December 7. If you wish to join or change your Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan, you need to submit your enrollment application to the carrier of your choosing no later than December 7.

Those enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan or a standalone Medicare Prescription Drug plan (PDP) may experience changes to their plan benefits and/or premium for 2027.

Carefully review your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter sent early October by your Medicare Advantage or PDP plan to verify all changes to your coverage for calendar year 2027.
