Get Ready for Medicare Open Enrollment: A Simple Guide to Smarter Choices
Open Enrollment is Coming. Are You Ready?
Every year, from October 15 to December 7, Medicare’s Open Enrollment period gives you the opportunity to review, switch, or update your coverage. Whether you’re new to Medicare or have been enrolled for years, this window is your chance to make sure your plan still fits your needs and budget.
We make Medicare understandable, clear, and personal. Here’s how you can get ahead of the game.
1. Know What Changes You Can Make
During Open Enrollment, you can:
Switch from Original Medicare (Parts A & B) to a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) or vice versa
Change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another
Enroll in or drop Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D)
Review and update supplemental insurance coverage (Medigap)
2. Review Your Current Plan
Ask yourself:
Did your premiums, copays, or deductibles change this year?
Were your prescriptions covered properly?
Did you face unexpected out-of-pocket costs?
Are your doctors and pharmacies still in-network?
A quick review now can save you thousands later.
3. Compare Plan Options
Plans change. So do your health needs. Medicare1st advisors can help you:
Compare plans side-by-side based on cost, coverage, and network
Ensure your medications and doctors are covered
Avoid late penalties or coverage gaps
👉 Don’t just auto-renew — explore your options!
