Getting Enrolled in Medicare Advantage

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

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.

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 Tennessee Medicare Supplement Insurance and a Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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.

About Our 2018 Medicare Part C Information

We collect Medicare health insurance information from public files on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website. Although we do our best to regularly update our databases, we are not able to ensure the exactness of the information. You must use a licensed insurance agent to get an accurate and binding quote.

For additional information go to the CMS website at: http://cms.gov. This page is maintained by David Bynon and was last updated on October 14, 2017.
