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.

As summer slowly gives way to fall, we are reminded that change can feel a little easier when we are surrounded by strong friendships. This month, we are sharing a story about five friends whose bond has proven that no matter how much life changes, some connections only grow stronger with time.

Since 1982, John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer-Cleary, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and JD Dickson have been returning to the same cabin on Copco Lake in California to recreate the same photo. The same five friends, the same spot, every five years.

What started as a spontaneous snapshot taken when they were 19 has become a four-decade tradition that neither distance nor time has been able to interrupt. This story serves as a beautiful reminder that strong friendships are built around showing up for one another, year after year, no matter what life brings.
