Generally, if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, you can only change plans under certain circumstances. You can choose to switch your current plan from November 15 through December 31 of every year.Enrollment is generally for the calendar year. In certain cases, such as if you move or enter a nursing home, you can switch your plan at other times.If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, you can change plans at any time.
