Medicare Open Enrollment runs from October 15th to December 7th.
During this period, you have the opportunity to switch Medicare plans or
enroll in a new plan. If you change plans, your new coverage will begin
on January 1st of the new year.
If you’re currently in a Medicare plan, you’ll get an Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC) in the mail. Note any 2025 changes to your health coverage or any Extra Help you may get to pay for prescription drugs. You may also get health plan marketing materials, like brochures, from insurance companies that offer Medicare health and prescription drug plans. Remember, plans aren’t allowed to call or come to your home without an invitation from you.
Medicare has a Plan Finder tool that can help you compare coverage
options and shop for health plans. For a personalized search, you will need to login and create an account to create or access a list of your drugs, compare your current Medicare plans to others, and see prices based on any help you get with drug costs. If you like your current coverage, and it’s still available for 2025, you don’t need to take any action.
If all this has you a bit overwhelmed, join Sharon for her free seminar this month (see page 2 for details). Or, you can make an appointment for a FREE Medicare Plan Review. As your local, independent pharmacy, we are here to serve you. We will sit down with you and go over your current medications and prescription plan options for 2025. We can help you understand what your costs may be depending on which plan you choose.
If you receive a letter stating your pharmacy of choice is no longer a preferred pharmacy, give us a call. We can help you choose a plan that is cost effective and allows you to stay at your favorite pharmacy. It is important to note that we cannot help anyone who has chosen Medicare Advantage. This program includes a prescription drug program, and you will not have an option to choose a drug coverage plan.
If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, visit NorlandRx.com or call us at (717) 217-6790.
