Part 2 – Question of the Month
Question: What is Medicare Open Enrollment, and when does it take place?
Answer: Medicare Open Enrollment is from October 15 to December 7 each year. This is the time to review your current Medicare coverage and make changes if needed, such as switching plans or adding prescription drug coverage. It’s a good chance to compare options and make sure your plan still fits your needs.
Part 3: We’d Love Your Feedback!
We’re planning more virtual workshops for our friends at NYQM and would love to hear your thoughts.
Have you attended any of our past sessions? Are there topics you'd like to see in the future? Your feedback will help us shape workshops that are helpful and meaningful to you.
