The AEP for Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans occurs annually from October 15 to December 7. This period is crucial for Medicare beneficiaries to review and possibly adjust their coverage. Often, it's an opportunity to find plans that are more cost-effective or better suited to current health needs. Also known as Medicare Fall Open Enrollment or the Annual Election Period, AEP is a key time for making informed decisions about Medicare coverage.
If you're content with your existing Medicare plan, no action is required during AEP. However, since plan specifics can change each year, it's wise to reassess your options every fall. This ensures your health and prescription needs will be adequately met in the upcoming year. Here are some considerations:
Explore plans offering additional benefits not present in your current plan.
Check for lower premium plans in your area to potentially reduce costs.
Stay informed about any changes in your current plan and be open to new or revised plans that might align better with your health requirements and financial situation.
