Medicare Open Enrollment: October 15 to December 7
This is the time of year to review your coverage. From October 15 to December 7 you can change your Medicare Part D drug plan and your Medicare Advantage plan. Plans change every year, so it is worth checking that yours has not raised its premium or dropped one of your medications. As of last year, you can also change your Medigap supplement.
