One of the most controversial aspects of Medicare is the ability to choose between original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Then, compare that plan to original Medicare (combined with Medicare Supplement and Part D Prescription Drug policies). During Open Enrollment you can switch from one Advantage plan to another or from an Advantage plan to original Medicare. There’s also a special enrollment period during the first three months of the year when Advantage plan members can switch to another Advantage plan or to original Medicare. But if you want to change from an Advantage plan to original Medicare, your Medicare supplement policy options might be limited.
