Did you know you don’t have to wait until the fall to make changes to your Medicare coverage? Many people think they can only switch during the annual Open Enrollment Period, but there are actually several opportunities throughout the year to adjust your plan. Right now, we’re in the Medicare Advantage (MA) Open Enrollment Period! ??? This period runs from January 1st - March 31st, and during this time, you can: ? Switch from one Medicare Advantage (MA) plan to another ? Change from a Medicare Advantage plan back to Original Medicare, with or without a standalone prescription drug plan. Also, don’t forget about the Special Enrollment Period (SEP)! This allows you to make changes to your Medicare Advantage or Medicare drug coverage when certain life events happen, like moving or losing other coverage. It’s important to stay informed about these opportunities so you can make sure you have the coverage that best fits your needs. If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to your local GA-SHIP Coordinator, Adrienna Martin at 706-675-1517! ?? #Medicare #MedicareAdvantageOpenEnrollment #SpecialEnrollmentPeriod #MedicareHelp
