If your Medicare Advantage plan isn\u2019t renewed, you still maintain Medicare eligibility. Unless you actively select new coverage, you\u2019ll default back to Original Medicare. The main enrollment window typically starts in early Q4 and runs through mid-Q4, with changes taking effect in early Q1. There\u2019s also a special enrollment extension through mid-Q1.
