When You Can Enroll in Medicare Plans
Medicare enrollment periods are specific times that you're able to enroll or make changes to your Medicare coverage. If there isn't a valid enrollment period, you can’t enroll or make changes. The fastest and easiest way to determine when you're eligible to enroll is to speak with a Via Benefits licensed benefit advisor, who asks you a series of questions to determine if you currently qualify for an enrollment period. Our licensed benefit advisors specialize in health insurance for retirees. They go through annual training and certification to ensure they can help you make an informed and confident decision.
If you need to contact Via Benefits Insurance Services for help evaluating or changing plans, be sure to schedule an appointment to speak with a benefit advisor. You can schedule an appointment on the website or call us at 1-866-322-2824. Read Enrolling in a Medicare Plan by Phone for assistance.
When you change plans, some plans replace your current coverage automatically and others don't. Please ask your benefit advisor if you're unsure whether or not your current coverage automatically cancels.
Medicare enrollment periods don't apply to Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policies or Medicare Cost plans, as these plans follow different rules.
