Is It Possible To Switch Medicare Advantage Plans At Any Time?

You can't change or switch your medicare advantage plan. If you think that your plan is not beneficial to you, you have two options:

• drop your current medicare advantage plan and enroll in a new plan; or
• you can jump to another plan

However, there are times that everyone is given a chance to change their Medicare Advantage plan at a given period. One is between October 15 and December 7, wherein the newly picked insurance coverage will begin on January 1. The other one is between January 1 to March 31 and begins on the first day of the latter month.

Changing Your Medicare Advantage Plan After Open Enrolment
​
First Year Of Medicare Advantage Plan
If you are a first-time enrollee in a medicare advantage plan, you can take this opportunity to switch to other Medigap insurance plans. There are two reasons the insurance provider will allow this to happen:

1. You are already at the age of sixty-five or over.
2. After you drop a Medigap plan to switch to Medicare, it's your first advantage plan.

Your State Has A Five-Star Medicare Advantage Plan
A state that has earned a five-star from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services can give you the key to finally switch and change your insurance plan at any given time, excluding the first week of December. The policyholder is given a chance to switch or change their plan once a year, and it starts every first day of the month.

Special Enrolment Period
There are given situations where an insurance company allows the insurer to switch coverage. Listed below are as follows:

• You move to your new home in a different area that is not covered by your previous insurance.
• You enter a nursing home or a long-term care facility.
• You have lost your insurance, or a program you joined did not pay your Medicare premiums.
• You complain about the benefits offered by your current plan because of misunderstanding, fraud, or incomplete information.
• If a federal employee accepted and confessed their mistakes in making the insurance plan.

Conclusion
It is almost impossible to switch or change your medicare advantage plan. Unless you are willing to drop your current insurance or jump to another one, it would not be possible. But, there is only a certain period where you can jump to another plan or situation that gives you a chance to switch coverage.
