This post applies to the 54 percent of the Medicare population in Medicare Advantage. I’m not knowledgeable about the Medigap and drug plans that people on traditional Medicare buy.
The email arrived now because it’s Medicare Open Enrollment, an annual period when Medicare Advantage enrollees can change our coverage. Its subject line was “Have you explored the 65 Medicare Advantage plans available in your area?”
Medicare encourages us to review plans during Open Enrollment even if we’re satisfied with our current one. New or revamped plans may offer a better deal.
