Medicare Annual Enrollment - What you need to know

Every year between October 15th and December 7th, Medicare beneficiaries can evaluate their current coverage and change plans for the following January.  Finding a plan that has the lowest premium and the lowest cost for prescriptions can be a confusing and overwhelming process.

We are Medicare experts, represent many carriers, and we are your advocate. We offer a free service to help guide you through this process.  Here are the reasons why it is important for you to evaluate your coverage each year:

Reasons to check your drug coverage:

1.   Medicare’s formulary can change;
2.  Your plan’s formulary can change;
3.  Your own drug list can change;
4.   Pharmacies change their pricing;
5.   Pharmacy networks change;
6.  Insurance carrier plans and pricing changes.

Reasons to check your Medicare Advantage coverage:

1. The plan's network of doctors and hospitals can change;
2. The plan itself can change for the following year;
3. The out of pocket maximum may be higher;
4. New plans may be available in your area;
5. Your drug list may have changed during the year;
6. The plan's formulary may have changed;
7. Some of your drugs may not be covered under your current plan next year.

We will also review your Medicare Supplement coverage to see if you need to change it.
