When can you change Medicare plans?
Learn the main situations that can allow Utah Medicare beneficiaries to review or change coverage, without relying on dates that may become outdated.
Annual enrollment opportunities
Medicare provides recurring enrollment periods when eligible beneficiaries may be able to make certain coverage changes. Confirm current dates and permitted changes with Medicare.
Special circumstances
Moving, losing qualifying coverage and other life events can sometimes create a Special Enrollment Period. The rules depend on the event and timing.
Changes involving Medicare Advantage
There are enrollment rules specific to Medicare Advantage. What you can change depends on your current coverage and the applicable enrollment period.
Do not cancel first and investigate later
Before leaving existing coverage, confirm your eligibility, effective dates and any underwriting or enrollment requirements that may apply to the new coverage.
