Original Medicare coverage is automatically renewable each year you are eligible. Thus, you do not need to renew your Medicare parts each year.

Medicare Supplement plans work the same way. Once accepted, the plan is automatically renewable as long as you continue to pay the monthly premium.

Medicare Advantage plans work similarly. However, you can change your plan each year if you do not like the benefits of your current plan.
