Getting Enrolled in Medicare Advantage

Most Arizona seniors qualify to join a Medicare Advantage plan. Certain diseases, most notably End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), may disqualify you from enrollment.

You are only allowed to join, drop or change plans during a Medicare Election Period. The period between 15 October and 7 December is the Annual Election Period (AEP). That's when most folks make changes to their Medicare.

There's also an Individual Election Period (IEP) that you can use once. Your IEP is a 90 day period around your 65th birthday. It starts the month before you turn 65 and ends the month after.

You can get enrolled three ways:

• Call a plan directly. If you know the plan you want, this way is quick and easy.
• Go to www.Medicare.gov and enroll through the government website. From there you can look up your medications, compare plans, and get your application started online.
• Use an independent insurance agent. This is the best way to go if you need someone to help advise you.

Medigap vs. Medicare Advantage, Which is Better?

Medicare Advantage is one way to get full coverage healthcare. You also have the option to hold on to your Original Medicare PFFS benefits and upgrade your coverage with Arizona Medicare Supplement Insurance and a Arizona Medicare Part D Plan (for help with your prescription drugs).

A Medicare Supplement policy protects you from big medical bills and helps you lower the total annual cost of your healthcare. See our Arizona Medigap Plans page for more information. The good news is that all supplemental insurance is standardized, offering you the luxury to buy the coverage you need based on the lowest price.
