You may join, switch or drop your current Medicare Prescription Drug plan during Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). You may also make changes to your Medicare prescription drug coverage during a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), when certain non-routine events happen in your life. Enrollment in Medicare prescription drug coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) takes place from October 15 through December 7. Some people are eligible to enroll during the Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if they meet one of several criteria.
Again, pay close attention to the dates as they affect your options. 1  Between October 15 and December 7 â You can join a Part D plan, switch between Part D plans or drop your Part D coverage. 2  Between January 1 and February 14 â You can leave a Medicare Advantage plan and switch back to Original Medicare. If you do, youâll have an opportunity during this time to enroll in a prescription drug plan as well. But you cannot switch from one Part D plan to another during this period.
