The Annual Election Period (AEP) is just around the corner! It starts on October 15 and runs through December 7 each year. But what does this mean for you and your Medicare plan?
Every year, many Medicare plans undergo changes, and it’s important to know if those changes affect your current coverage. Have you taken a moment to review your plan for the upcoming year?
Your benefits, premiums, co-pays, and even the medications covered (prescription drug formulary) may be different next year. That’s why reviewing your plan now can save you from unexpected surprises later.
Before deciding to stick with your current plan, it’s essential to check for any significant updates. Here are some common changes that could affect you:
Tip: Your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) may not include information about whether your doctor is still in-network. It’s a good idea to contact your doctor's office directly to confirm their participation.
For those living in rural areas, checking your plan’s provider network is especially important. Access to nearby specialists can vary, so it’s worth ensuring you’ll have the coverage you need.
Even if your plan hasn’t made significant changes, reviewing your coverage yearly is a smart move. Being aware of how your plan works—and how it compares to others—can help you make better decisions about your healthcare.
