You've read the notices. Now it's time to compare your options.
Medicare Open Enrollment begins tomorrow, October 15, and runs through December 7.
The notices you received this fall can help you identify changes to:
✅ Costs and copays
✅ Prescription drug coverage
✅ Provider and pharmacy networks
✅ Extra benefits
Even if you're satisfied with your current coverage, taking a few minutes each year to review your options can help ensure your plan continues to meet your healthcare needs and budget.
