💡 MEDICARE TIP OF THE DAY: Watch for your ANOC! 📩
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, keep an eye on your mailbox and email inbox this September!
Your plan is required to make sure you receive your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) by September 30. It outlines important changes taking effect on January 1.
What should you review?
💸 Monthly premium, deductible, copays, and coinsurance
🛡️ Medicare Advantage maximum out-of-pocket (MOOP) limits
💊 Prescription drug formulary and tier changes
🏥 Provider, hospital, and preferred pharmacy network updates
⭐ Changes to extra benefits (dental, vision, hearing, OTC)
Plans change every year—so even if you loved your coverage this year, reviewing your notice gives you time to prepare before the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 – Dec 7).
Note for Original Medicare + Medigap beneficiaries: You generally will not receive an ANOC for Original Medicare or Medigap. However, if you have a stand-alone Part D drug plan, be sure to review that notice, and keep an eye out for any separate Medigap premium update from your carrier.
