During AEP, people with Medicare generally can: - Switch from a Medicare Advantage plan back to Original Medicare - Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another - Join, switch or drop a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan - Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan With Original Medicare, you can explore Medicare Part D or a Medicare Supplement Insurance plan (Medigap) for additional coverage options and to help cover some of the costs not covered by Original Medicare. Talk to a licensed insurance agent to explore your Medicare coverage options that give you access to your Sutter doctors, hospitals and other healthcare services. Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans are Medicare-approved plans offered by private insurance companies. ## Explore Medicare plan options Sutter works with eHealth, a licensed insurance agency, to help you find the right plan for you.
