Get Ready for Medicare’s Annual Enrollment

It’s that time of year again—Medicare’s Annual Open Enrollment runs October 15 through December 7. This is your chance to take a fresh look at your coverage and make sure it still fits your health and budget.

Why it matters

Plans can change each year—premiums, drug coverage, even which doctors are included. And your needs may have changed too. Open Enrollment is the time to adjust so you’re not caught by surprise in January.

What you can do

• • Switch between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage

• • Change to a new Advantage plan

• • Review or update your Part D prescription drug plan

Quick tips to prepare

• • Watch for your Annual Notice of Change in the mail this fall

• • Make a list of your medications and doctors

• • Reach out to your local Agent if you’d like free guidance

Remember

• • Open Enrollment: Oct 15 – Dec 7

• • New coverage starts Jan 1

Taking a little time now can save you money and stress in the year ahead.
