Who Can Enroll in Medicare Advantage?

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

There are several different Medicare Election Periods. This is when you can join or change your plan. Most people wait until 15 October to 7 December to make enrollment changes. This is the Annual Election Period (AEP).

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 Maine Medicare Supplement Insurance and a Maine Medicare Part D Plan (for help with your prescription drugs).

If you're not familiar with Medigap policies, and how they protect you from medical care liability, please review our Maine Medigap Plans page. All Medigap plans are standardized. That means you can chose the plan you need based on best price without worrying about the benefits.
