The Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period for 2017 will be from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.
During this period each year, Medicare beneficiaries can join, switch or drop their Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage coverage.
Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans change the coverage and costs each year, so it is important to review your plan and compare it to others that are available to residents of Mifflin and Juniata counties.
The free health insurance counseling program for Medicare beneficiaries residing in Pennsylvania, called APPRISE, will have counselors available during the entire Annual Open Enrollment Period.
These unbiased and friendly counselors will help residents understand their options in comparing Part D and Medicare Advantage plans during the many enrollment events in the community.
Not sure which Medicare plan is right for you? The APPRISE program can help. Medicare is confusing. Counselors can help participants find peace of mind.
