You can switch your Medicare Advantage plan during the annual open enrollment period that begins in October and runs through December.
There are a few other times when Medicare allows you to switch Advantage plans.
If your Medicare Advantage carrier goes out of business (like Universal Healthcare) you can change to another Advantage plan or return to original Medicare and qualify for a Medicare supplement plan.
If you leave your Advantage plan service area is another qualifying event.
