Benefits Counselors Assisting During Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment

Did you know that if you're unsatisfied with your Medicare Advantage Plan (Medicare Part C), you have options to change? Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment is an opportunity to make changes to your health plan from January 1 - March 31.  You can do one of the following:

• Switch to a different Medicare Advantage Plan with or without drug coverage
• Go back to Original Medicare and, if needed, also join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan

Whether you switch Medicare Advantage Plans or go back to the Original Medicare with or without a drug plan, your new plan will become effective the first of the following month.

The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment period is not for people who already have original Medicare.

The Area Agency on Aging of East Texas can help you find, compare, and enroll in a new Medicare Advantage Plan or Medicare Drug Plan in your area. Give us a call at 1-800-442-8845 or 903-218-6500.
