Whenever a Medicare Advantage plan isn\u2019t renewed, rest assured that your Medicare eligibility remains intact. If new coverage isn\u2019t selected, you\u2019ll generally transition back to Original Medicare.<\/p>\n<p>Key enrollment windows matter here: the main period to review and change your coverage runs from early to mid-fall, with most plan changes beginning at the start of the following year. If you\u2019re considering a move back to Original Medicare, keep in mind there\u2019s a special protected window for Medigap plans that starts 60 days before your current coverage ends and closes no later than 63 days after. This can be a crucial opportunity for those who want to supplement their coverage.<\/p>\n<p>When weighing your next steps, I always encourage families to look beyond just the monthly premium\u2014check your doctors, hospitals, prescription coverage, copays, deductibles, and what the worst-case yearly costs might look like. Sometimes, a $0 premium comes with bigger tradeoffs elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Free, unbiased counseling is available through state programs, and I regularly remind the families I work with to double-check their choices with Medicare or a qualified adviser. My role is to help you navigate these changes calmly and clearly, ensuring your coverage fits your life\u2014not the other way around.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent announcement from a major insurer about targeted Medicare Advantage exits for 2027\u2014impacting roughly 600,000 members\u2014has understandably left many San Diego seniors with questions about what comes next.
