It’s time to get ready for Medicare open enrollment

If you live in New Hampshire, you are no stranger to the cycle of change brought about by our four seasons. From Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 is another time of change — the Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period.

During this time Medicare beneficiaries can review and change their prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans (HMO/PPO) for the best coverage and cost options. Coverage for any plan changes made during AEP begins on January 1, 2023.
