WHAT IS THE MEDICARE ENROLLMENT PERIOD?

Medicare health and drug plans can make changes each year—things like cost, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in their networks.
October 15 to December 7 is when all people with Medicare can change their Medicare health plans (Part C) and/or prescription drug coverage (Part D) for the following year to better meet their needs. New coverages will begin on January 1, 2024.

Please reach out to see how this might affect you or if it could benefit you to make a change!
