Medicare Open Enrollment
Starting October 15 through December 7, Medicare Open Enrollment is the time of year when Medicare beneficiaries can review changes to their current coverage and switch plans for 2017. This is important because Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans can make changes yearly to their benefits, including premiums, deductibles, co-pays, maximum out of pocket and provider networks. Additionally, your needs can change as well!
Social Security Increases Cost of Living Adjustment
