What if I miss the deadline?
Once enrolled in Medicare, if you wish to change or purchase Medicare plans you must act during the open enrollment period.

-You are turning 65
-You move to a new area that is not in your current plan’s service area
-Recently moved back to the US
-You lose your current coverage (either Group or Medicaid)
-You now need a SNP (Special Needs Plan) or you no longer need a SNP
