Reminder: Medicare Open Enrollment

By United States Government / October 16, 2024

Dear Colleague,

Medicare’s Open Enrollment period is October 15 to December 7. Your clients can review and compare their Medicare options during open enrollment each year. This includes:

• Switching between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plan.

• Changing to another Medicare Advantage Plan.

• Joining or changing Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans.

Changes made during the Open Enrollment period, take effect on January 1, 2025.

Your clients should ensure their current plan continues to meet their needs for the following year since Medicare health and prescription drug plans can change. If your clients are satisfied with their current health care coverage, they do not need to take any action.

Encourage your clients to visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE for more information or to compare plans.

Please share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.

Sincerely,

Dawn Bystry
Associate Commissioner
