Medicare open enrollment earlier this year

Posted Sep 26 2011 12:00am

Dear Readers: Around September 30, those of you on Medicare will receive information about a change in the Medicare annual open enrollment dates. Open enrollment is when you can make changes in the plans and providers you’ve chosen for your Medicare D prescription drug coverage, your supplemental plan and Medicare Advantage if you’ve chosen that option.

Under a provision of the Affordable Care Act, the Medicare annual open enrollment period this year changes to Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. If the companies you’ve chosen as providers or the plans you’ve chosen are no longer the best fit for you, you may change without a penalty. If you are happy with your plans and the providers you won’t have to do a thing.
