Medicare Open Enrollment starts October 15 — learn what’s new!
Mark your calendars — Medicare Open Enrollment starts October 15! It’s your chance to review your coverage and see if you can save money next year.
New this year: we redesigned Medicare’s Plan Finder to make it easier than ever to compare coverage options, shop for plans and feel confident in your choice. Medicare’s mobile-friendly Plan Finder now works on your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device so you can use it wherever it’s convenient.
Here’s what can you do to protect yourself: guard your Medicare card like a credit card, and only give your Medicare Number to people who should have it (like doctors and pharmacists).
Watch this short video to see how Plan Finder’s new features can help you during Open Enrollment.
Sincerely,
The Medicare Team
