Medicare Open Enrollment is an essential time for beneficiaries to review their health coverage and ensure it continues to meet their needs. Running from October 15 to December 7, this period allows you to make changes to your Medicare Advantage or Original Medicare plans, including adding or dropping Part D prescription drug coverage.
During this time, plans can change their coverage, costs, and provider networks. It’s crucial to review these adjustments and make sure your doctors and pharmacies remain in-network. If you’re experiencing changes in income or expenses, now is the time to explore if a different plan would better fit your budget.
