When can you enroll in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan?
There are certain times in which you may enroll in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, depending on your personal situation and your Medicare eligibility.
Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)
Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) begins three months before the month you turn 65 years old and continues for three more months after the month of turning 65. During this time, you may complete your Original Medicare enrollment, and you may be eligible to enroll in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan.
If you enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan during your IEP, you can switch to another Medicare Advantage plan within the first 3 months you have Medicare.
Some people under 65 years old may qualify for Medicare enrollment because of a disability. If this is your situation, a licensed sales agent2 can help you determine if you are eligible for Humana Medicare Advantage plan enrollment.
Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) lasts from October 15 to December 7 each year.
During AEP, Medicare beneficiaries can apply to enroll in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan, switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan or switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to a different one.
Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (OEP)
During the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (OEP) – which lasts from January 1 to March 31 each year – Medicare Advantage plan beneficiaries may disenroll from their current Medicare Advantage plan and switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan.
During this period, you may also elect to return to Original Medicare.
Special Enrollment Period (SEP)
Certain circumstances may make you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). These enrollment periods may be granted to qualified individuals at any time throughout the year for a number of specific reasons.
These qualifying circumstances can include:
- Moving to a new address
- Residing in a skilled nursing facility
- Losing employer or COBRA health coverage
Medicare.gov, the official website of the Medicare program, provides this list of life events that may qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period.
