And yet, right from the Medicare.gov website it says:
"Follow these steps if you're already in a Medicare Advantage Plan and want to switch:
To switch to a new Medicare Advantage Plan, simply join the plan you choose during one of the enrollment periods. You'll be disenrolled automatically from your old plan when your new plan's coverage begins.
To switch to Original Medicare, contact your current plan, or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
Unless you have other drug coverage, you should carefully consider Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). You may also want to consider a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy. Remember, you may only be able to switch at certain times of the year."
