Medicare open enrollment

An official message from Medicare and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

If you or someone you care about has Medicare, make sure you mark your calendars. Medicare Open Enrollment is earlier this year. It starts on October 15th and ends on December 7.

Use this opportunity to review your Medicare choices and make sure you have the plan that is right for you. You may be able to save money, get better coverage or both.

And make sure you take advantage of the new benefits for all people with Medicare – like wellness visits, preventive care and lower prescription drug costs.

It’s worth it to take the time to review and compare. Medicare has resources to help.

Call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit medicare.gov to find out more. Make sure you check your mail for the Medicare & You handbook. And remember – it’s earlier this year. Open Enrollment ends on December 7.
