Open enrollment is a 6-week period where you can review the new Medicare plan options with your existing coverage. You can compare and contrast plans and then select the Medicare plan that best meets your needs. This is the ideal time for people with Medicare prescription drug plans or Medicare Advantage to review the new plan options.
Just as your health may change from year to year, Medicare plans can change annually. For this reason, it is a good idea to use the open enrollment period to compare your options and select the right Medicare coverage. Whether you have Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or a Part D prescription drug plan, you should make sure the plan you have now, will be the best plan for you in the year ahead.
