Medicare Open Enrollment: What You Need to Know

August 23, 20242 min read

Medicare Open Enrollment is a critical time for anyone on Medicare to review and make changes to their current health plans. Whether you're looking to switch Medicare Advantage plans, change your prescription drug coverage, or simply review your benefits, Revive Insurance is here to help you make informed decisions during this important period.

When Is Medicare Open Enrollment?
Medicare Open Enrollment happens every year from October 15 to December 7. During this time, you can:

  • Switch from Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to a Medicare Advantage plan.

  • Switch from a Medicare Advantage plan back to Original Medicare.

  • Join, switch, or drop a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan.

  • Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.

Any changes you make during the Medicare Open Enrollment period will take effect on January 1 of the following year.

Why Should You Review Your Medicare Plan?
Your healthcare needs may change from year to year, and so can your Medicare plan options. It’s important to take the time during Open Enrollment to review your current coverage and compare it to other available plans. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider changing your plan:

  • Coverage needs: Your current plan may not cover new health services you need, or a different plan might offer better coverage for the services you use the most.

  • Prescription drug coverage: If your prescription needs have changed, it may be time to switch to a plan that offers better coverage for your medications.

  • Plan costs: Medicare plan premiums, deductibles, and copayments can change each year. It's a good idea to make sure you're still getting the best value for your coverage.
