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 with me today at 320-679-5183.
