Medicare Enrollment Periods
When you first enroll in Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period, you will select Original Medicare (Parts A and B) or a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C) which combines the two types of coverage. Part D (prescription drug) coverage is also available with either of these options. But once you make your selections, you aren't stuck with those plans for life. In fact, Medicare offers you opportunities to change your plan(s), depending upon the situation.
