Act Now: Medicare Beneficiaries Urged to Review Plans Before AEP
Medicare beneficiaries are advised to review their current plans as changes may affect their coverage and costs. The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for plan changes is from October 15 to December 7. Our organization's Medicare Advisory Service offers free assistance to help navigate these changes.
Premium increases, formulary changes, or provider network changes could impact current plans. To stay informed, it's crucial to compare plans early. The 2026 Medicare plan information was released on October 1, 2023, giving beneficiaries a two-week head start before the AEP on October 15. Our service can help determine if plan changes are needed and provide guidance on the most suitable options.
Reviewing plans early can save money and avoid congestion during AEP. Unlimited plan changes can be made during this period, but acting early ensures a better understanding of coverage options, cost differences, and benefits. This enables informed decision-making to choose the most appropriate plan before enrollment deadlines.
No action is needed to keep the current Medicare plan, but a review is advisable. Our Medicare Advisory Service offers complimentary assistance with Medicare plans. The new plan begins on January 1, 2026. Beneficiaries are encouraged to use this two-week head start to compare plans and make informed decisions during the AEP.
