Not necessarily. With Medicare supplement plans (typically F, G, or N plans) you can shop those plans anytime during the year (subject to medical underwriting). The AEP is not ideal because this process will take much longer during the AEP than during the first nine months of the year.

No problem! You now have an additional three months to shop your plan in the beginning of the year called the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. This period runs from January 1st through March 31st. Any changes made during this time become effective on the first day of the following month. For example, if you change plans on February 12th, your new plan will take effect on March 1st.
