The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period - also called AEP can be a time of optimism and an opportunity for Medicare beneficiaries to upgrade their benefits by enrolling in a Part C Medicare Advantage Plan (MAP). The AEP lasts from October 15 to December 7 each year. However, if you are just turning 65, the AEP is unimportant. Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) starts 3 months before the month you turn 65 and ends 3 months after the month you turn 65. Finally, if you enrolled in a MAPD Plan between Jan. 1 and March 31, you can switch to another Advantage Plan or drop it in favor of Original Medicare and pick up a standalone Part D prescription plan.
