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.
Switching Your Medicare Part D Drug Plan. The election periods listed above also apply to Medicare Part D. However, Part D plans have no health questions. You can change from one Part D drug plan to another, or cancel your Part D coverage, as long as you do so during a valid election period. Shopping your Part D drug plan annually is a good idea.
