When is Medicare open enrollment for Mary Washington Health System?
There are several times when you can enroll in Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, and Medicare Supplements. Mary Washington Medicare Advantage will follow the same CMS guidelines as other Medicare Advantage plans for enrollment dates.
The Initial Enrollment Period is the first time you can sign up encompasses a seven-month period, including:
- The 3 months before your 65th birthday
- The month of your birthday
- The 3 months after your birthday
Special enrollment periods are also available for those people who were working at age 65 for an employer with more than 20 employees and who had healthcare coverage through that employer, a union or through a spouse’s job. Enrollment can take place while the other insurance is still active or during the eight months after the coverage ends.
If you miss either of these enrollment periods you can sign up for Parts A and B between January 1 and March 31, with coverage beginning July 1 of the year you sign up.
The Open Enrollment Period (also called the Annual Election Period) takes place each year from October 15 to December 7. The following stipulations apply:
- Anyone with Medicare Parts A & B can switch to a Part C plan.
- Anyone with Medicare Part C can switch back to Parts A & B.
- Anyone who has or is signing up for Medicare Parts A or B can join, drop or switch a Part D prescription drug plan.
- Anyone with Medicare Part C can switch to a new Part C plan.
Coverage will start January 1 of the following year.
Enrolling in Medicare Advantage Plans
The Annual Election Period to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan is October 15 through December 7. This is when consumers will be able to enroll in the Mary Washington Medicare Advantage plan.
An annual Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period allows any person the opportunity to change plans if they are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan on January 1. This annual period also runs from January 1 to March 31.
Both the individual and the annual Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period allow Medicare beneficiaries already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan a one-time election to either:
- Switch to a different Advantage plan, or
- Switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to Original Medicare and a standalone Part D plan
Using Medicare supplement insurance at Mary Washington Health System
Medicare Supplement Insurance pays for some healthcare costs that Original Medicare does not cover. Known as Medigap policies, they are sold by private companies and can cover expenses such as deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.
Some Medigap policies may also provide additional coverage for services not covered by Original Medicare as well. This may include coverage for when you travel outside of the United States.
Medigap policies typically don’t cover services such as vision or dental services, hearing aids, long-term care and other needs. It is best to check with a provider on the exact coverage before purchasing a Medigap plan.
When using a Medigap plan at Mary Washington Health System, you need to be aware of several things:
- Medicare will pay its share of an approved amount for services and then Medigap will pay its share.
- To be able to purchase a Medigap policy, you must have Medicare Parts A and B. A separate premium will be required in addition to your Part B payment.
- A Medigap policy is not a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage plans provide benefits, while Medigap policies only supplement Original Medicare benefits.
- A Medigap policy only covers one person. You must buy separate policies for each person you intend to cover.
- Medigap policies sold after January 1, 2006 are not allowed to cover prescription drug coverage. If you want prescription drug coverage, you can join Medicare Part D.
- If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, it is illegal for an agent to sell you a Medigap plan.

The Mary Washington Healthcare Alliance (Medicare)
As part of a changing way to deliver healthcare to Medicare patients, Mary Washington Healthcare has teamed with area providers to form an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). The goal is for healthcare providers to band together to provide coordinated and high quality care at a lower cost to Medicare patients. After initially completing three years in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the Mary Washington Healthcare Alliance was formed.
It is considered a Next Generation ACO and is only one of 51 such participants and will provide an enhanced quality of care at lower costs to Medicare patients. The Alliance chose to participate in the Next Generation ACO Model because it believes this model allows the best opportunity to shift patient care away from a clinical model built for the fee-for-service payment environment and towards a whole-person population health-focused clinical model.
Dozens of area providers in numerous specialties have banded together to provide this next level of fiscally responsible care. Those Mary Washington Health Alliance members include:
