When it comes to Medicare AEP, there are three important dates to keep in mind:

📅 October 15: Medicare AEP begins. This is the first day you can make certain changes to your Medicare health or prescription drug coverage for the upcoming year.
📅 December 7: Medicare AEP ends. If you decide to make a coverage change during AEP, the plan must receive your enrollment request by this date.
📅 January 1: Coverage changes made during AEP generally take effect.

You don't need to wait until October 15 to start preparing. Reviewing your current coverage, updating your prescription list, checking the doctors and healthcare providers you use, and thinking about your healthcare needs can help you know what to look for when comparing your options.

Marking these dates on your calendar can help you stay organized throughout Medicare AEP.

If you have questions about Medicare AEP or would like help reviewing your coverage options for the upcoming year, give us a call at 318-470-2537 or visit https://AskMHC.com. We're happy to help.

You may hear a lot about Medicare Annual Enrollment this time of year, but what exactly does it mean for your coverage?

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 through December 7 each year. It's an opportunity for people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage and make certain changes for the upcoming year.

During this period, depending on your current coverage, you may be able to:

🔵Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another
🔵Join, switch, or drop a standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan
🔵Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan
🔵Leave a Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare

Changes made during AEP generally take effect January 1 of the following year.

Even if you're happy with your current coverage, it's still a good idea to review it for the upcoming year. Plan costs, benefits, provider and pharmacy networks, and prescription drug coverage can change from year to year.

Throughout October and November, we'll share helpful information to make Medicare AEP easier to understand.

If you have questions about Medicare AEP or would like help reviewing your options for the upcoming year, give us a call at 318-470-2537 or visit https://AskMHC.com. We're happy to help.

🎉 Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating an October birthday!

If you're turning 65 this month, congratulations on reaching an exciting milestone! Along with celebrating your big day, this is also an important time to make sure you understand your Medicare enrollment timeline and coverage options.

Your Initial Enrollment Period generally spans seven months around your 65th birthday, which means your enrollment window may already be open. Taking time now to explore your options can help you feel more confident about the decisions ahead.

And if you're celebrating another birthday this October, we hope your day is filled with happiness, good health, and quality time with the people who matter most.

An annual Medicare coverage review doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Knowing what to look at can make the process much easier.

As you prepare for the upcoming year, take some time to review:

💊 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Are your prescriptions still covered, and have any costs or coverage requirements changed?
🏥 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀: If your plan has a provider network, are the doctors, specialists, and hospitals you use still in it for the upcoming year?
👨⚕️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀: Have you started taking new medications, seeing new specialists, or using different healthcare services during the past year?
💲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: Look at premiums, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket costs that may apply to your coverage.
❓ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Have any of the benefits you use changed for the upcoming year?

If you have a Medicare Advantage or standalone Part D plan, your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) can help you identify changes your plan is making for the new year.

Working through these areas can give you a clearer picture of whether your current coverage still meets your healthcare needs and budget or whether you'd like to compare other options during Medicare Annual Enrollment, which begins October 15.

If you have questions about reviewing your Medicare coverage or would like help comparing your options for the upcoming year, give us a call at 318-470-2537 or visit https://AskMHC.com. We're happy to help.

Your prescription medications are an important part of your annual Medicare coverage review.

If you have a standalone Medicare Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug coverage, your plan can make changes from year to year. These may include changes to covered medications, cost-sharing tiers, or pharmacy networks. Your own prescriptions may have changed over the past year, too.
Before comparing coverage for the upcoming year, take a few minutes to make an updated list of your current medications. Be sure to include:

🔵 Medication name
🔵 Dosage
🔵 How often you take it
🔵 Your preferred pharmacy

Having an accurate medication list makes it easier to check whether your prescriptions are covered, what copays or coinsurance may apply, and whether there are coverage requirements such as prior authorization.

A little preparation now can make your coverage review easier when Medicare Annual Enrollment begins October 15.

Choosing Medicare coverage involves more than simply comparing monthly premiums. Asking the right questions can help you understand how a plan may work for your healthcare needs throughout the year.

Before choosing or changing your coverage, consider asking:

🔵 Are my doctors, specialists, and preferred hospitals in the plan's network?
🔵 Are my prescription medications covered, and what might I pay for them?
🔵 Beyond the monthly premium, what are the deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket costs?
🔵 Does the plan cover the healthcare services and treatments I use regularly?
🔵 Are there prior authorization or referral requirements I should understand?
🔵 If the plan offers extra benefits that are important to me, what is included and what rules or limits apply?

Everyone's healthcare needs and budget are different. Looking beyond the monthly premium and understanding how coverage works can help you make a more informed decision.

With Medicare Annual Enrollment beginning October 15, September is a good time to think about what's important to you before comparing your options for the upcoming year.

When was the last time you updated your medication list?

Bringing a current list of your medications to each healthcare appointment gives your doctors and other providers a clearer picture of what you're taking. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements.

Make sure your list includes:

🔵 The name of each medication
🔵 Your dosage
🔵 How often you take it

Be sure to update your list whenever a medication is started, stopped, or changed.

An accurate medication list can help your healthcare providers identify possible drug interactions, avoid duplicate medications, and make more informed decisions about your care. It's especially helpful if you see several doctors or specialists who may prescribe different medications.

Keep a copy somewhere that's easy to find and remember to bring it with you to your appointments. It's a simple habit that can make conversations about your healthcare easier and more productive.

If you have questions about how your prescriptions fit into your current Medicare drug coverage, give us a call at 318-470-2537 or visit https://AskMHC.com. We're happy to help.

Life can change, and sometimes those changes can affect your Medicare coverage or the options available to you.

Moving to a new area, losing employer or union coverage, moving into or out of a care facility, or qualifying for certain assistance programs are examples of life events that may affect your Medicare options. Depending on the situation, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, which could allow you to make certain coverage changes outside the usual enrollment periods.

Other changes, such as being diagnosed with a new health condition, starting a new medication, or seeing different doctors, may not create a Special Enrollment Period on their own. But they can still be good reasons to take another look at whether your current coverage continues to meet your healthcare needs and budget.

When something changes in your life, it's a good idea to find out whether it affects your Medicare coverage. Enrollment rules depend on the specific situation, and understanding what applies to you can help you make informed decisions.

If you've experienced a recent life change and have questions about how it may affect your Medicare coverage, give us a call at 318-470-2537 or visit https://AskMHC.com. We're happy to help.
