Predicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does. – Warren Buffett
Are you considering changing your Medicare coverage?
Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period for 2024 began on October 15th and ends on December 7th. Now is the ideal time to evaluate whether this is the year to change your coverage.
Perhaps you are:
- Wanting a plan with different services that it covers.
- Requiring access to specific hospitals, doctors, or prescriptions that aren’t covered under your current plan.
- Needing more convenience, higher quality, or a plan that will cover you while you’re traveling.
Making this decision is anything but simple. To help you through the process, we have provided a link below to a flowchart that provides considerations for your decision, such as changes in health care needs, costs of premiums and deductibles, and the effective dates of any changes:
Should I Change My Medicare Coverage During Open Enrollment?
Other questions you may have:
- Am I eligible for Medicare Part A & Part B?
- If I retire early, should I buy health insurance through the marketplace?
- Will I be enrolled automatically in Medicare?
- Will I avoid IRMAA surcharges on Medicare Part B & Part D?
While checklists and flowcharts can help you identify questions to consider, we are always available to discuss your financial goals and to help you identify the best options for you.
