You can enroll in Medicare Part D coverage once you meet both of the above requirements. Your Initial Enrollment Period for Part D is when you're first eligible to sign up for prescription drug benefits, and this period usually coincides with when you're first eligible for Medicare coverage.
You can also sign up for Medicare Part D coverage during the Annual Election Period (AEP), sometimes called the Fall Open Enrollment or Open Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug coverage. 1  This takes place from October 15 to December 7. During this time period: 1  Enroll in a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan or change from one Prescription Drug Plan to another. 2  Disenroll from your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (if youâre already enrolled in one). 3  Enroll in or switch Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans.
