If you think you need to make a change begin by reviewing your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), which lists changes to your plans premiums and co-pays. Your ANOC will also provide a comparison of your 2018 benefits versus your 2019 benefits. Options available to Medicare recipients during this open enrollment period include: choosing a new plan, adjusting your drug coverage, or switching to an Advantage Plan. With regard to Medicare Advantage Plans, check to make sure your local hospital is still accepting your Medicare Advantage Plan, as well as, your pharmacy and doctors are still part of the Plan’s preferred network. Also, make sure your prescriptions are still covered under your plan’s coverage. When comparing Medicare versus Medicare Advantage Plans, don’t only judge the plans by their premiums, look to make sure deductibles and co-pays are appropriate, as well as, your network coverage and medications.
