Avoid Costly Mistakes: What You Need to Know About Medicare Changes This Year

Reasons to Review Your Medicare Plan Before Open Enrollment
Reviewing your Medicare plan before Open Enrollment ensures that your coverage continues to align with your health needs and budget. Here’s why it matters:
• Your health needs may have changed
It’s essential that your coverage still fits. A plan that made sense last year might not be the best fit today — especially if your prescriptions, providers, or priorities have shifted.
• Plan benefits and costs can change each year
What worked last year may no longer be your best option. Premiums, deductibles, and coverage rules often update annually — and those changes can impact both your out-of-pocket costs and the care you receive.
• You may be eligible for better savings
A quick review can uncover more affordable or higher-coverage options. Even if you’re happy with your plan, there may be another with better value or additional perks.
• Prescription coverage can change drastically
Prescription formularies often change from year to year. What may have been covered last year could either drop off the approved list or jump in price — sometimes significantly.
If you’re not careful, a medication you rely on could go from affordable to unaffordable overnight. And once AEP (Annual Enrollment Period) ends, you may be locked into that higher cost until the next enrollment window.
