Need to make a change to your UPMC for Life Medicare Advantage plan? We can help!

You can change your Medicare Advantage plan for any reason from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 during the Annual Enrollment Period. When switching plans outside of the Annual Enrollment Period, you must qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

This plan change form can be used when switching from an HMO plan to another HMO plan. If you wish to change from an HMO plan to a PPO plan, or a PPO plan to an HMO plan, you must complete a new enrollment application.

You can apply to change your Medicare Advantage plan online, over the phone, or by mail
