Read moreIf you have Medicare Parts A and B, you can join a Medicare Advantage plan. Under Medicare Advantage beneficiaries may choose from a number of private health plans, which include the following:
Once you choose a plan, you can only change plans during certain times of the year. You can switch plans during the open enrollment period which runs from October 15 through December 7 every year. You can also join a Medicare drug plan during that period. There is also a disenrollment period during which you can switch from Medicare Advantage to original Medicare.
