Many Medicare beneficiaries enroll in a plan and assume their coverage will remain the same year after year.

In reality, Medicare plans can change annually, which is why reviewing your coverage each year is one of the most important things you can do.

Even if you're happy with your current plan, a yearly review may help ensure it continues to meet your healthcare needs.

Plans Change Every Year

Insurance companies regularly update their plans.

Changes may include:

  • Monthly premiums

  • Deductibles

  • Copayments

  • Provider networks

  • Prescription drug formularies

  • Additional benefits

A plan that worked well this year may look very different next year.

Your Healthcare Needs Change

Your health needs can change over time.

You may begin taking new medications, start seeing new specialists, or require additional healthcare services.

Reviewing your plan annually helps ensure your coverage continues supporting your current healthcare needs.

Prescription Costs Can Shift

One of the biggest reasons to review your Medicare coverage is prescription drug costs.

Insurance carriers may change how medications are covered, which pharmacies are preferred, or what your out-of-pocket expenses may be.

A quick annual review can help identify potential savings opportunities.

Annual Enrollment Period Matters

Each year, Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period runs from October 15 through December 7.

During this time, beneficiaries have the opportunity to review and make changes to their coverage if necessary.

Waiting until healthcare needs arise may limit your options until the next enrollment period.

Peace of Mind

Many beneficiaries discover their current plan remains the best fit after a review.

Others uncover opportunities to improve coverage, reduce costs, or gain access to additional benefits.

Either way, reviewing your plan provides peace of mind and confidence moving into the new year.

Medicare is not a one-time decision. Taking a few minutes each year to review your coverage can help ensure you're receiving the benefits and protection you deserve.
