Medicare Open Enrollment: What You Need to Know

The Medicare Open Enrollment period runs through October 15th through December 7th 2018. During this time period is when all people with Medicare can change their health plans and prescriptions drug coverage for the following year to better meet their needs.

It is particularly important for people in a MEDICARE HEALTH or PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN to always review the materials in their plans such as “Evidence of Coverage” (EOC) and “Annual Notice of Change” (ANOC). If their plans are changing, they should make sure their plans would still meet their needs for the following year.
