Question 1

When is Medicare Open Enrollment?

Accepted Answer

Medicare Open Enrollment runs October 15 through December 7 each year. That fall window is for coverage beginning January 1 of the next calendar year, and this calendar labels both the enrollment year and coverage year.

Question 2

When is Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment?

Accepted Answer

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment runs January 1 through March 31. It applies only to people already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan and allows one qualifying plan change.

Question 3

Does this calendar show my personal Initial Enrollment Period?

Accepted Answer

No. Your Initial Enrollment Period is personal and generally begins three months before the month you turn 65 and ends three months after that month. Employment coverage, disability, and other facts can change the correct timing, so verify your situation on Medicare.gov.

Question 4

How does the calendar stay current?

Accepted Answer

The page reads the current Tampa Bay date each time it opens, refreshes while it remains open, recalculates completed and active windows, and rolls annual enrollment dates into the current year automatically.
