What is Medicare Open Enrollment?

Afraid to face the paperwork? Learn about enrolling in Medicare from the Warren County Medicare and MIPPA coordinator, Cheryl Banghart.

Medicare’s Open Enrollment occurs each year from October 15 through December 7. During Open Enrollment, you can make changes to your Medicare coverage. In most cases, this period is the only time you can pick a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan. Even if you are satisfied with your current health and drug coverage, Open Enrollment is the time to review what you have and compare it with other options in your area to make sure that your current coverage is still best for you in the coming year. In September, you will start to receive notices with information about any changes to your current plan in the coming year. It is important to read these notices so that you can decide if your coverage will continue to meet your needs, or if you should change it. It is a good idea to review the options available in your area to see if there is alternative health and/or drug coverage that meets your needs at a more affordable price.
