The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7, but the most prepared Medicare beneficiaries start planning long before that. At Your Insurance Gal Agency, we help our clients take proactive steps in August and September to ensure they’re ready to make smart, confident choices during AEP.
Why Early Preparation Pays Off Waiting until October to evaluate your Medicare plan can lead to rushed decisions, confusion, and missed opportunities. By starting now, you’ll have time to:
- Evaluate your current plan’s performance
- Compare new plans becoming available for next year
- Adjust for any changes in your health, prescriptions, or provider networks
What to Review Now
- Review your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) – This document arrives in September and outlines changes to your current plan’s costs, coverage, and network.
- List your medications and dosages – Ensure your current or prospective plan covers them affordably.
- Check your provider preferences – Are your doctors still in-network? Will you need referrals under a different plan type?
We help clients create a personalized Medicare “checklist” to bring to their free plan review, so they can make apples-to-apples comparisons across plan options.
Explore Changes in Coverage Options Every year, insurance carriers update their Medicare Advantage and Part D plans. These updates may include:
- New prescription drug formularies
- Changes to in-network providers
- Updated premiums or cost structures
- Added perks like dental, hearing, vision, or fitness benefits
By understanding these changes in advance, you can better align your plan to your evolving needs.
