From October 15th through December 7th, Medicare beneficiaries can review their coverage and make changes for 2027 during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can:

✅ Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan, or vice versa.
✅ Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
✅ Add, change, or drop Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

This is also a good time to assess whether your current plan still meets your needs. Costs, covered medications, provider networks, pharmacies, and plan benefits can change from year to year, so even if you were happy with your coverage last year, it's worth taking a fresh look.

If you have any questions about your current plan, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to be a resource for you.

Life has a way of moving quickly, and certain changes, whether expected or not, can affect your health insurance coverage in ways that aren't always obvious at the moment.

Some life events trigger a Special Enrollment Period, a 60-day window before or after the event during which you can enroll in or update your coverage outside the standard Open Enrollment Period. If any of the following have happened in your household over the past year, it may be worth a conversation:

🔵Getting married, divorced, or welcoming a new child into your family
🔵Moving to a new ZIP code, county, or state
🔵Turning 26 and coming off a parent's plan, or losing job-based coverage
🔵Changes in your income or household size
🔵Turning 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare, or becoming a U.S. citizen

If anything on that list sounds familiar, we'd love to connect to see how we can help you during a Special Enrollment Period. Give our team a call, and we can get started.

Medicare Annual Enrollment begins October 15th, which means now is the time to watch for an important document from your current Medicare Advantage or Part D plan: your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC)

Typically mailed in September, and no later than September 30th, your ANOC outlines any updates that may take effect on January 1st. Even if you’ve been happy with your current coverage, reviewing these changes carefully can help you avoid unexpected costs or coverage gaps in the year ahead.

Your ANOC may include updates to:

✅ Monthly premiums and other out-of-pocket expenses.
✅ Prescription drug coverage and formularies.
✅ Doctor, hospital, and pharmacy networks.
✅ Copays, deductibles, and additional plan benefits.

Small plan changes can make a significant difference in your health care costs and provider access. Taking time to review your ANOC now can help you make more informed decisions during Medicare Annual Enrollment.

If you would like help understanding your plan changes or comparing your Medicare options before enrollment begins, contact us anytime. We are here to help you review your coverage and find a plan that fits your needs for 2027.
