To Change or Not to Change Your Medicare Coverage

As we all know, Medicare covers many of the seniors' health care needs. The Medicare plan that you choose affects many things like cost, benefits, doctor choice, convenience, and quality. Sometimes the Medicare coverage you choose does not meet your current health needs that's why changes might be necessary. However, before deciding whether or not to change your Medicare Plan coverage, be sure to consider the following:
  1. Coverage
  2. Other Health and Prescription Coverage
  3. Costs
  4. Doctor and Hospital Choice
  5. Prescription Drugs
  6. Quality of Care
  7. Convenience
  8. Travel

These things will determine if another Medicare coverage is right for you. To get detailed explanation on the 8 factors mentioned above, click on the link below:

Need To Change Your Medicare Coverage?

Does your current Medicare Coverage meet your health needs? If not, be sure to change your Medicare Plan Coverage during the next Annual Coordinated Election Period which runs from November 15 through December 31 every year. It is important for you to review your Medicare Plan Coverage before the Annual Coordinated Election Period because you are not allowed to change your plan anytime.

If your current Medicare health coverage and Medicare prescription drug coverage do not meet your current health needs, it will be helpful to read about other Medicare health plans available to you. Reviewing the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) and Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) of your current Medicare plan is also important. The Evidence of Coverage will give you the details about what your current Medicare plan covers and how much you pay. On the other hand, the Annual Notice of Change will give you the information regarding changes in coverage, costs, or service area that will be effective in January 1 (the following year). In case you did not receive these 2 documents, contact your plan.
