Who Can Enroll in Medicare Advantage?

If you are age 65 or older, you most likely qualify to enroll in a Arizona Medicare Advantage plan available in your county. If you have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), you will need to stay on Original Medicare.

You can join or switch plans during a Medicare Election Period. For most people, the Annual Election Period (AEP), which starts on 15 October and ends 7 December, is the time they update their enrollment.

Most of us also get an Individual Election Period (IEP), but it only comes around once. Your IEP is based on your 65th birthday. It starts the month before and ends the month after, so you have plenty of time.

To get enrolled:

• 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.

Original Medicare + Medigap vs. Medicare Advantage

If you are worried that an HMO or PPO plan will try to limit your care, Medicare Advantage is not the only way to get full coverage. For a little more each month you can have the best care available and lower your out-of-pocket expenses. Savvy seniors hold on to their Original Medicare and get the additional coverage they need with a Arizona Medicare Part D Plan (prescriptions) and Arizona Medicare Supplement Insurance.

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.
