Will you shop around during Medicare’s open enrollment for 2022 coverage?
Live polling results:
This survey has concluded and here's how the results look based on the responses of our participants.The Medicare open enrollment period – also known as the Annual Election Period – is a once-a-year opportunity for Medicare enrollees to review their existing coverage, compare it against Medicare plans available for 2022 – and decide whether to buy a new plan.
During the Medicare open enrollment period – which runs from October 15 through December 7 – you can make a variety of changes (none of which involve medical underwriting):
- Switch from Medicare Advantage to Original Medicare or vice versa.
- Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
- Switch from one Part D prescription plan to another.
- Join a Medicare Part D plan.
- Drop your Part D coverage altogether.

- Do you expect to at least compare your Medicare existing coverage to 2022 plans?
