We are all familiar with Medicare’s Annual Enrollment, from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 of each year. This is the time Medicare beneficiaries are allowed to change their drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plans.
If you have moved; just retired and loosing employer coverage; have a chronic condition (such as diabetes); turning 65 this year; or other situations, you may have a Special Election to make a change or enroll in a Medicare Plan any time during the year.
Open Enrollment Period (OEP) is from Jan. 1 to Mar. 31 and allows Medicare beneficiaries to make a one-time change of their Advantage plan, or choose to go back to Original Medicare and pick a drug plan.
As I visit with people, one of the main concerns I see is whether they are picking the best plan. It is hard to know what the future may bring, and picking the right plan can be stressful. That is why it is advisable to have an agent help navigate some of these choices. Being an independent agent, I am able to share a wide variety of plans that can work for your particular situation.
If you have questions about the plan that you picked, need to confirm coverage of prescription drugs, or doctors that accept your plan, please give me a call. I can help ease your concern and make sure you have the plan that is right for you. There are other opportunities to make changes throughout the year. You may be eligible to make a change or find a better fit.
