It is that time of the year again to review your current health coverage for Medicare and make sure you are still in the right plan for you.

This is the time when you can switch to a Medicare Advantage plan, switch between Advantage plans, switch back to original Medicare, and change Drug plans.

The actual duration of the Open Enrollment period is just under two months and runs form Oct. 15th though Dec. 7th. To avoid any unforeseen delays, it is advised not to wait till the last minute to make any changes.

It is important to occasionally review your current health coverage to make sure it is still meeting all your needs. Since the healthcare system is constantly changing, it is always a good practice to stay informed on any recent changes or updates that may have an effect on you and your coverage.

For questions concerning your Medicare health coverage, please consult with your local licensed professional.
