Open Enrollment for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans begins October 15 and runs through December 7.   During this time seniors are given a singular opportunity to reassess their coverage and consider options for the coming year.

"Even if you are happy with your current Medicare plan, it generally pays to review your plan during Open Enrollment," explains Vicke Li an Medicare independent insurance agent located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

"You may be taking a new prescription medication or your Medicare plan's coverage and its drug formulary may have changed," shares Jesse Slome, director of the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance, a national industry organization.  "Open Enrollment is the best time to review and get ready for the next year.  But act early because local Medicare insurance professionals are busiest during this time of the year."

Getting better Medicare plan coverage and lowering costs are the primary reasons to take advantage of the yearly reassessment opportunity.   "If you miss the Open Enrollment deadline, you may have to wait a full year before you can make changes to your plans," explains Li.   

Here are three important things every Medicare beneficiary can do during Open Enrollment:

"Medicare's Annual Enrollment only lasts 54 days, a vital time period to review and make decisions that may last a full year," shares Li.   For a no-cost review and comparison of Medicare plans available in our area call Li at 909-803-7928.
