It is almost time for Medicare open enrollment to start once again. Medicare open enrollment dates go from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Many people will enroll for the first time, and others will change their plans—hopefully for the better. A few will choose original Medicare, but others will select a Medicare Advantage plan. New plans go into effect on Jan. 1.
Anyone with a Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan should become familiar with any changes their insurer intends to implement in the following year. If you do not like the changes or are relying on a particular benefit and they intend to reduce or eliminate it, you may want to change your plan with that company or get a new insurer.
