Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period
The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period is here! Now, I know what you are thinking, “I thought the enrollment period ended in December”. Well,
you are right… with one exception.
The Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug plans begins on
October 15 and lasts until December 7. However, Medicare has opened a new enrollment
period for Medicare Advantage Plans. This is called the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment
Period and it begins on January 1 and lasts until March 31.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan the MAOEP allows you to change your Medicare
Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare and join a Medicare Drug plan if you want to.
Why would you want to change your Advantage plan? Medicare Advantage plans are offered
by private insurance carriers, and every plan has different benefits, costs and monthly
premiums. Many plans include benefits like dental, vision and alternative care (chiropractic,
acupuncture, naturopathic treatments). Plans can also include benefits such as a free gym
membership and even health monitoring devices like a Fitbit or Garmin wristband.
If your current Advantage plan doesn’t offer the benefits you want or benefits you don’t need or the cost is too high, now is the perfect time to shop for a
new plan. In Lincoln County Oregon we have three insurance carriers offering plans – Samaritan, Regence Blue Cross and MODA Health. They all offer
plans with and without prescription drug coverage. The cost of these plans have costs ranging from $0 per month up to $129 per month.
This can all sound confusing but the good news is your agent can help you find the right answer for you. If you live here in Lincoln County on the Oregon
Coast or the surrounding area we would be happy to be YOUR FRIEND IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS. We are happy to review your existing policy
whether you are currently a customer or not.
If you are interested in exploring a new Medicare Advantage plan we have many ways to help our friends new and old. We are happy to meet you at our
office next to Wildflower Grill in Lincoln City, Oregon. But you don’t even have to come to our office for an appointment, we can meet you online via Zoom.
Call us today at 541-994-2884, stop by for an appointment, or REQUEST A QUOTE NOW, and one of our experts will be happy to be your friend in the
insurance business.
