HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICE MEDICARE ANNUAL ENROLLMENTOCTOBER 15 – DECEMBER 7, 2021

This is the time of year for Medicare beneficiaries to make changes to Medicare coverage for the following year.

During this period, you can join or change Medicare Advantage Plans, change Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, or drop an Advantage Plan and return to original Medicare. It is very important to watch your mail for any changes your plans are making for 2022. The Advantage plans could drop your physician (or your physician can choose to no longer accept your plan) as well as changing the way they cover your prescription drugs.

Stand alone Part D Prescription Drug Plans, change formularies and costs of medication each year. Just because your plan worked well for you in 2021 doesn’t mean it will be the same in 2022. The plan could drop coverage for some of your medications or change tiers which means you will pay more and sometimes it’s a lot more.

If you do nothing during annual enrollment, your coverage will remain the same for the following year.

The only way to be certain you are on the BEST plan for your prescription drug coverage, is to do a comparison of all plans – based on your medications. We will offer personal assistance on comparing plans this year (October 15-December7) as we have in past years. Beginning October 1, you can call the center and request an appointment by speaking to June Nicdao or Dee Brown.

If you are interested in doing the comparison yourself, you can go to www.medicare.gov, go the Plan Finder and follow the prompts.

Please take the advantage of this opportunity to evaluate your Medicare coverage. It doesn’t take long, and you can give you peace of mind and could save you lots of money.

It can be tempting to shut yourself off and stay inside.

This group will share tips of care with each other, learn from others, and even go on out-ings. If you have a form of arthritis or care for someone who does, join us!Limit 25 Room 303
