Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is Here!

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15th – December 7th.

This is your opportunity to review your Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug plan and make changes for 2027.

📋 Why review your plan?
Medicare plans can change each year including premiums, benefits, provider networks, prescription drug coverage, and out-of-pocket costs.

Even if you're happy with your current plan, it's important to make sure it still meets your needs for the upcoming year.

📅 October 15th – December 7th
Don't wait until the last minute!

If you have questions or would like help reviewing your Medicare options, give our office a call at (515) 996-6030. We're here to help you understand your options and make an informed decision.

Life has a way of moving quickly, and certain changes, whether expected or not, can affect your health insurance coverage.

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 at (515) 996-6030, and we can get started.
