Medicare Open Enrollment

Medicare open enrollment runs from October 15^th through December 7^th. This is when Medicare plan enrollees can reevaluate their coverage, whether it’s Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage or a prescription drug plan through Medicare Part D. To review:  Medicare Part A is hospital coverage. Part B is for medical coverage like doctor and clinical lab services, outpatient and preventive care, screenings, surgical fees and supplies, and physical and occupational therapy. Medicare Part C combines both A and B. Medicare Part C (also called Medicare Advantage) is a different way of getting Medicare Part A and Part B coverage. Medicare Part D is for prescription drug coverage. Seniors can choose among an average of over two dozen plans for their Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, and each offers different prices and coverage. That’s why this open enrollment period is so important to compare plans. Call for an appointment at 320-679-5183.
