Should You Change Your Medicare Coverage During Open Enrollment?

Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period begins on October 15.

Now is the ideal time to evaluate whether this is the year to change your coverage.

Perhaps you:

• Want a plan with different services than your current plan.

• Require access to specific hospitals, doctors, or prescriptions that aren’t covered under your current plan.

• Need more convenience, higher quality, or a plan that will cover you while you’re traveling.

Making this decision is anything but simple.
