TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – The enrollment period for Medicare Advantage plans and Part D prescription coverage is underway, and prescription drug out-of-pocket costs are increasing.

Open Enrollment
Each year by mid-October, people begin receiving the latest “Medicare & You” guide, and for those whose birthdays fall around the same time, it fits well with the schedule for signing up for the new year’s program.

Coverage options available to Medicare beneficiaries include Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Part D prescription coverage, and supplemental Medigap policies such as F, G or N. The Medicare Advantage plan carries no premium for the insured. A supplemental plan is not required, but it is often recommended to help pay deductibles.
