15 Social Services 15 Five things to know about Fall Open Enrollment Fall Open Enrollment is the time of year when you can change your Medicare coverage. You can: Join a new Medicare Advantage Plan or stand-alone prescription drug (Part D) plan Switch between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Here are five things to keep in mind while you are choosing your Medicare coverage: 1. Fall Open Enrollment occurs each year from October 15 through December 7. Any change you make during Fall Open Enrollment will take effect January 1. In most cases, Fall Open Enrollment is the only time you can pick a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan. If you have Medicare Advantage, you can also switch back to Original Medicare. To get drug coverage, you should also join a Part D plan. Depending on where you live, you may be able to buy a Medigap policy, which helps pay Original Medicare costs. Limitations apply as to who can buy a Medigap and when. 2. Review your current Medicare health and drug coverage. If you are dissatisfied with your coverage for next year, make changes during Fall Open Enrollment. If you have Original Medicare, take a look at next year s Medicare & You handbook to know your Medicare costs and benefits for the upcoming year. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or a Part D plan, you should receive an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and/or Evidence of Coverage (EOC) from your plan. Review these notices for any changes in the plan s costs, benefits, and/or rules for the upcoming year. Even if you are satisfied with your current Medicare coverage, look at other Medicare options in your area that may better suit your individual needs in the upcoming year. For example, check to see if there is another plan in your area that will offer you better health and/or drug coverage at a more affordable price. 3. Help is out there. Use Medicare s Plan Finder tool on medicare.gov if you need help finding Part D plans. If you want to join a Medicare Advantage Plan, call MEDICARE to find out which plans are in your area. If you research a plan online, also call the plan itself to confirm what you have learned. Make sure the plan includes your doctors and hospitals in its network. Confirm that the plan covers all your drugs, and that your pharmacies are in the preferred network. Call or visit the website of the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP), Your local SHIP can help you understand your Medicare coverage options and navigate any changes. The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. also has OSHIIP volunteers on staff. Attend one of the 7 senior center programs regarding Medicare Open Enrollment this month, see newsletter for details. 4. If you are dissatisfied with a Medicare Advantage Plan you choose during Fall Open Enrollment, you can disenroll from it and join Original Medicare during the Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period (MADP). The MADP occurs each year from January 1 through February 14, with changes taking effect on the first of the following month. 5. Understand the difference between Fall Open Enrollment and Open Enrollment for the state or federal Marketplaces. The federal Marketplaces (also known as Exchanges) offer annual open enrollment periods for uninsured and underinsured Americans. This enrollment period may overlap with Fall Open Enrollment. The Marketplaces are typically not meant for people with or eligible for Medicare.
