Medicare annual enrollment period (AEP) is the time period eligible U.S. residents can apply for and make changes to their Medicare plan. This happens every year from October 15 – December 7. Medicare is a health insurance plan for people ages 65 and up, or those with certain conditions or disabilities.
Medicare annual enrollment period is open to anyone who is newly eligible as well as anyone who is currently on Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. The decision to change plans, modify your plan, or add coverage can be confusing and overwhelming. It is important to know your options and pick a plan that lets you keep your ARC care team.
Medicare patients at ARC are 7.5% less likely to use the ER than other patients across the nation.
