Medicare Annual Enrollment period is from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.
This is a time to take a look at your current coverage and see if it is working well for you. Last year during the Annual Enrollment period, I spent a lot of time helping people with prescription drug coverage.
Did you know that drug plans can change yearly? The premiums can go up or down, the formularies can change, and even the in-network pharmacies can change.
It is always a good idea to check and make sure you are in the best plan for your needs. I can often help people over the phone. However, you may have a more complex situation where I would need to come to your home.
Whatever your situation is, make sure you take the time to see if you are on the correct plan. Last year one couple I met with was able to find a great plan that saved them each $60 per month on their premium. On a fixed budget, that was a welcome change.
If you are currently on an Advantage plan, it is always a good idea to look at the new plans for next year. Just like the prescription drug plans, things change from year to year. I would be happy to go over the new plans with you.
