What's with those ads ?

Still ads on t.v. about signing up for Advantage plans. Why ? Wasn't there a deadline for signing up ? December 7th ? 🤔

@ss11943859 the Medicare Open Enrollment for Jan - March only applies to those who currently HAVE an MA plan and want to change to a different MA plan or original Medicare.

Unless your situation fits this criteria you sit this one out.

A different enrollment for different purposes

Medicare.gov Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment ends March 31

People can change their plan.  01/01 - 03/31

Each year, there’s a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 – March 31. During this time, if you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan and want to change your health plan, you can do one of these:

• Switch to a different Medicare Advantage Plan with or without drug coverage
• Go back to Original Medicare and, if needed, also join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
