Every year, Medicare beneficiaries are given the opportunity to review their health coverage during Medicare’s Open Enrollment period, which begins in October. This is a crucial time to ensure your current Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plan is still the best fit for your needs. Too often, people let their coverage renew automatically—only to discover later that premiums increased or benefits changed in ways they weren’t expecting.
In fact, recent headlines have highlighted changes in how insurers are managing their plans, including adjustments to provider networks, prescription drug coverage, and out-of-pocket costs. Even if your plan worked well for you this year, there is no guarantee it will look the same in the year ahead. What seems like a small monthly increase can quickly add up—sometimes costing hundreds of dollars more per year.
That’s why it’s so important to take this opportunity to review your plan carefully. Look closely at your monthly premium, deductible, co-pays, and prescription coverage. Ask yourself: Has anything changed in my health or medication needs? Is my doctor still in-network? Could I be paying less for the same or better coverage?
