Yes, you are able to change plans one time during the initial Open Enrollment Period and annually thereafter.  Simply complete the enrollment form for the newly chosen Medicare Part D Plan. Your new plan will take effect on the first of the month after it is received.  The original or old Plan will stay in effect until the new plan is effective.
