(Feature Impact) Medicare Open Enrollment gives you a chance to take a fresh look at your health plan. Because plans can change from year to year, this is a good time to see whether another option may suit you better.
If you have Medicare, making time each fall to review your coverage is one of the most important health decisions you can make.
Take a Closer Look at Your Medicare Plan
- Review your coverage. Make sure your preferred doctors, medications, and pharmacies are included.
- Review your costs. Compare premiums, deductibles, copays, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
- Look for plan changes. Find out what will be different in the coming year.
- Compare your options. Side-by-side comparisons can help you choose a plan based on the prescriptions you use, your health needs, and your budget. Be sure your medicines are covered.
