AEP 101: Your Guide to the Annual Medicare Enrollment Period

The leaves are changing, and so can your Medicare plan! The Annual Medicare Enrollment Period is just around the corner, and it's the perfect opportunity to review your coverage and make important decisions about your healthcare. Whether you're a seasoned Medicare beneficiary or helping a loved one navigate their options, this guide will help you make the most of this critical period.

What is the Annual Medicare Enrollment Period?

The Annual Medicare Enrollment Period runs from October 15th to December 7th every year. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries have the chance to make changes to their Medicare coverage for the upcoming year. 

This period is crucial because it allows you to:

1. Review Your Current Plan:

Look closely at your current Medicare plan, whether it's Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or a Prescription Drug Plan. Are your healthcare needs still being met? Are there changes in your life that may require different coverage?

2. Compare Your Options:

Medicare plans can change annually, affecting costs, coverage, and preferred healthcare providers. AEP allows you to explore a variety of offerings while comparing costs to ensure you're getting the best value for your healthcare dollars.

3. Make Changes:

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is the ideal time to update your Medicare coverage. If you are considering a Medicare Advantage plan, now is the time to sign up. If you aren't satisfied with your current drug or advantage plan, you can switch to another provider. It's the perfect opportunity to make any necessary changes to your coverage.

4. Plan for the Future:

Your health needs may evolve, so it's essential to think about your healthcare goals for the upcoming year. AEP is an opportunity to make sure your plan aligns with your healthcare priorities.
