Open Enrollment Period (Medigap)

A one-time only 6-month period when Federal law allows you to buy any Medigap policy you want that is sold in your state. Open enrollment is a window during which individuals and employees may add or drop their health insurance, or make changes to their coverage. For employer-sponsored coverage, open enrollment is generally the only time that employees can drop their coverage, whereas, in the individual market, people can drop coverage at any time during the year. But in both cases, open enrollment is generally the only time that people can sign up for a plan, or switch to a different plan, unless a special enrollment period is triggered by a qualifying event.
