Key Points about Medicare Annual Enrollment |
Medicare Enrollment Deadlines will Change this November
There are different rules than last year. The important changes are:
|
Annual Coordinated Election Period October 15-December 7, 2011
|
Both Part D and Medicare Advantage plan members must make any changes at this time.
|
|
MA Annual Disenrollment Period January 1-February 15, 2012 |
Medicare Advantage plan members will only be able to return to Original Medicare and join a stand-alone Part D plan. |
Carefully Review any Changes to Your Benefits
Do this every fall. Make sure you have insurance that will meet your health needs and budget. You won’t be able to change again for another year. Be sure to check:
-
If the plan will continue next year
-
What you will pay in monthly premiums and annual deductibles
-
What you will pay for doctor’s visits (co-pays and co-insurance)
-
If your doctors will continue to accept the plan
-
Which extra benefits will be covered, if any
