Changing Medicare plans?

Sometimes change can lead to something great. Consider switching to a Medicare plan that combines great care and insurance.


When can I change Medicare plans?

If you are eligible for Medicare, you can choose a new plan during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). This runs from October 15 through December 7. You don’t have to switch plans every year, but you should know your options. That way you can decide whether it’s the right time to make a change.

Combining care and coverage

The Medicare Advantage plans with HealthPartners UnityPoint Health offer options that fit your needs, making it easy to get care and coverage together. You can get all your insurance through one plan. And you can continue seeing UnityPoint Health doctors (or other doctors in the network).

Enrollment periods to know about

There are some Medicare enrollment timelines that are important to know about. These include:

Initial Enrollment Period (IEP):

This is the seven month window for you to enroll around your 65th birthday. It starts three months before your birthday and ends three months after your birthday.

Annual Enrollment Period (AEP):

This runs every year October 15 to December 7.

Special Enrollment Period (SEP):

This is an enrollment period for special circumstances. This could include a move out of your plan’s service area, eligibility changes and more.

If you have questions about changing plans, we encourage you to get in touch with us.
