(Keller Sherman) If you have Medicare, open enrollment is when you can make changes to your health and prescription drug plans.
Open enrollment takes place between October 15th and December 7th. Leading up to and during this time, you will see lots of ads and get lots of phone calls about Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private companies and can differ from original Medicare when it comes to key things like in-network coverage, out of pocket costs, and referral policies for specialists.
There will be some changes to Medicare drug coverage coming next year, so review and compare your options during the Open Enrollment Period.
If you have questions, visit the Medicare website at medicare.gov or call 1 800 MEDICARE.
