​Many people left Original Medicare and their Medicare Supplement to join a Medicare Advantage plan during last year’s Annual Enrollment Period between October 15 and December 7.

If you are one of those people, there’s a very important consumer protection that you only have during your first 12 months in a Medicare Advantage plan that you need to know about: the Medicare Advantage Trial Right.

The Medicare Advantage Trial Right is also available to people who join a Medicare Advantage plan when they first become eligible for Medicare.

In this video, we’re going to look at a Special Enrollment Period option that doesn’t require any change in your life to qualify for: the Five Star Special Enrollment Period.
