🗓️ Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
October 15 – December 7
Each year, Medicare beneficiaries in South Carolina can review and adjust their coverage. During this period you can:
☑️ Switch between Original Medicare and a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan
☑️ Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another
☑️ Join, switch, or drop a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan
- Compare changes in premiums, benefits, drug lists, and provider networks
Even if you’re satisfied with your current plan, reviewing annually is essential because plan offerings can change based on your ZIP code and county.

🩺 Your South 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.
Many South Carolina beneficiaries choose to pair Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan and a separate Medicare Part D drug plan for fuller coverage.
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. They bundle Part A and Part B coverage and often include extra benefits such as:
- Prescription drug coverage (Part D)
- Dental, vision, and hearing benefits
- Wellness programs and fitness perks
- Some plans even offer transportation or over-the-counter allowances
In South Carolina, hundreds of Medicare Advantage plans are available with many offering $0 monthly premiums — giving you comprehensive coverage at minimal cost.
Coverage and costs can vary by county and ZIP code. Comparing plans carefully helps ensure your preferred doctors and medications are included.
Medigap (Medicare Supplement) Plans in South Carolina
Medigap plans help pay some of the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover — including copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. South Carolina residents can typically choose from several standardized Medigap plans.
Popular options include:
- Plan G — Broad coverage with Medicare Part B deductible not included
- Plan N — Lower premiums with moderate copayments
- High-Deductible Plan G — Lower monthly cost with a deductible before benefits begin
Medigap plans are especially valuable if you want predictable costs and freedom to see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare. Note: To enroll in a Medigap plan, you must have both Medicare Part A and Part B.
Separately, you’ll need a Part D prescription plan when you choose Medigap.
Prescription Drug Coverage (Medicare Part D)
Medicare Part D plans help cover the cost of prescription medications. Each plan has:
- A unique drug formulary (covered drug list)
- A specific pharmacy network
- Tiered pricing and coverage rules
Because formularies and copays can change each year, reviewing your Part D plan during Annual Enrollment can help avoid unexpected drug costs.
South Carolina residents have access to stand-alone Part D plans, with low premiums and options tailored to your prescriptions.
