🗓️ Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
October 15 – December 7
Each year, Medicare beneficiaries in North Carolina have a chance to review and adjust their coverage. During AEP, you may:
☑️ Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan
☑️ Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another
☑️ Join, switch, or drop a Part D Prescription Drug Plan
☑️ Compare and update coverage based on changes in benefits, formularies, or doctor networks
Even if your current plan meets your needs, reviewing it annually helps ensure you aren’t paying more than necessary or missing benefits available where you live.

🩺 Your North Carolina Medicare Options
Original Medicare (Parts A & B)
Original Medicare is provided by the federal government and includes:
Part A – Hospital Insurance Covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility services, hospice care, and certain home health services.
Part B – Medical Insurance Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, lab tests, imaging, and durable medical equipment.
Important: Original Medicare does not include prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, or hearing benefits — and it does not have an annual out-of-pocket maximum.
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)
Medicare Advantage plans — sometimes referred to as Part C — are offered by private, Medicare-approved insurance companies. These “bundled” plans include your Part A and Part B coverage and most often include Part D prescription drug coverage too.
Medicare Advantage plans in North Carolina can also offer:
* Dental, vision, and hearing benefits
* Fitness programs and wellness perks
* Telehealth services
* Transportation assistance (in select plans)
Most North Carolina residents have access to at least one $0-premium Medicare Advantage plan in 2026, though plan costs and features vary by county and ZIP code.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans in North Carolina
Medigap plans help pay some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover — like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Popular supplemental plans often chosen in North Carolina include Plan G and Plan N, though others may be available depending on your insurer. Medigap coverage allows you:
* Freedom to see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare
* Predictable costs with fewer surprises at the doctor’s office
* No network restrictions — ideal for frequent travelers
Note: A stand-alone Part D plan is required with Medigap to get prescription drug coverage.
Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
Medicare Part D plans help cover the cost of prescription medications. Each plan has its own:
* List of covered drugs (formulary)
* Pharmacy network
* Cost structure, including tiers and deductibles
Because Part D plans vary annually, it’s important to review your coverage each year to ensure your medications are covered at the most affordable price.
