Open Enrollment is an annual period of time (October 15 through December 7) when current Medicare users can choose to re-evaluate part of their Medicare coverage (their Medicare Advantage and/or Part D plan) and compare it against all the other plans on the market.

Each year, insurance companies can make changes to Medicare plans that can impact how much you will pay out-of-pocket-like the monthly premiums, deductibles, drug costs, and provider or pharmacy “networks.” Research shows that the average consumer could save $300 or more annually if you took the time to review your current Medicare coverage.
