Which statement about election periods is true?

Which statement about election periods is true?

• A. They define when you can enroll, switch, or disenroll in MA or PDP
• B. They allow enrollment any time
• C. They apply only to PDP
• D. They are optional for agents

Answer: (A)

Election periods establish the windows when enrollment actions for Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans can occur. They define when you can enroll, switch between MA plans or PDPs, or disenroll from MA to Original Medicare with a PDP, including any special enrollment periods triggered by life events. This timing framework is what the statement is conveying, and it’s why it’s true: changes to MA or PDP are not allowed at any time, they occur within these defined periods, and enrollment rules apply to both MA and PDP.
