Medicare Special Enrollment Period
With a qualifying event, you can enroll or change your Medicare coverage any time.
Sutter works with eHealth, a licensed insurance agency, to help you compare Medicare Advantage Plans and enroll in one that includes your Sutter doctor.
Special Enrollment Periods
Certain life changes may qualify you for a Medicare Special Enrollment Period. This allows you to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan or change your coverage outside of Medicare regular enrollment periods.
You may be eligible if:
- You lose your current health coverage
- You move to a new address
- You experience other life changes like leaving a job or gaining Medicaid
Each situation has its own rules about when and how you can make changes. View the full list of Medicare Special Enrollment Periods to see what applies to you.
Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans
Also known as Medicare Part C, these all-in-one plans bundle:
- Hospital coverage (Medicare Part A)
- Medical coverage (Medicare Part B)
- Prescription drug coverage (Medicare Part D)
They may also offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. Learn more about how these plans work and find one that includes your doctor.
