Get Ready for AEP: Your Medicare Checklist for Peace of Mind
A little preparation today can make all the difference tomorrow.
"Failing to plan is planning to fail — let’s make sure your Medicare coverage is ready to serve you best this year."
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is right around the corner, running from October 15 to December 7. This is your opportunity to review your current coverage and ensure it still meets your health and financial needs. Each year, plans can change—premiums, benefits, provider networks, and prescription drug formularies often shift. That’s why preparation is key.
Here’s how you can prepare for AEP with confidence:
Review your current plan. Take a look at what you used this past year—were your prescriptions covered affordably? Were your doctors in network? Did you use the extra benefits like dental, vision, or hearing?
Check for changes. Every fall, your plan will send you an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). This outlines adjustments for the upcoming year. Don’t skip over this important document—it could impact your out-of-pocket costs or benefits.
Think about your health needs. Have you had any new diagnoses, prescriptions, or treatments this year? Your coverage should match your health today, not just last year.
Explore your options. Medicare Advantage, Prescription Drug Plans, and Medigap all come with unique benefits. With so many choices, it’s wise to compare and see if a different plan might offer more savings or better coverage.
Lean on expert guidance. Navigating Medicare doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Working with a licensed consultant means you don’t have to figure it all out alone—we’re here to simplify the process and find the plan that truly works for you.
By getting ahead of the game, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re prepared when AEP arrives. Your health, budget, and future are worth the time it takes today.
