Don't Let Medicare Mysteries Spook Your AEP!
The air is crisp (well, getting there), the leaves are turning, and trick or treaters are right around the corner. But while you're picking out costumes and stocking up on candy, there’s another annual tradition lurking that's far more important for your health and wallet: Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP).
Forget the haunted houses and jump scares – the real fright is finding yourself in a Medicare plan that no longer fits your needs, leaving you with unexpected costs and limited choices. This year, let’s make sure your Medicare isn’t a trick, but a treat!
The Ghost of Plans Past: When Your Old Plan Haunts You
Ever felt like your current Medicare plan is clinging to you like a stubborn spirit? Many people stick with what they have year after year, unaware that plans change, their health needs evolve, and new, better options might materialize. This is your chance to break free!
Imagine your Medicare plan like an old costume. Maybe it fit perfectly last year, but now it’s a bit tight, or it’s missing a crucial accessory. During AEP, from October 15th to December 7th, you have the power to try on a new one.
Here’s the spooky truth: Insurance companies can tweak benefits, change their covered drug lists (formularies), or alter their network of doctors and hospitals annually. That favorite doctor or essential prescription might vanish from your plan's coverage. It’s important to go over your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter to see what what changed.
