Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15!
If you're reviewing your Medicare coverage for 2027, the Medicare Plan Finder is a great place to start. This free tool at Medicare.gov can help you compare plan options available in your area.
Before you begin, have a list of:
âś… Your doctors and other health care providers
âś… Your prescription drugs
âś… Your preferred pharmacies
As you compare plans, look beyond the monthly premium. Consider:
• What you'll pay for health care and prescriptions
• Whether your doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies are in the network
• How your medications are covered
• The plan's Maximum Out-of-Pocket limit, which is the most you'll pay for covered Part A and Part B services during the year
Remember: Medicare plans can change from year to year, so it's important to review your coverage annually, even if you're happy with your current plan.
Need help? SHIP counselors can help you use the Medicare Plan Finder to review your options and understand what factors to consider when choosing coverage.
