Why a Medicare Plan Review During OEP Is So Important
Many people assume that if they’ve already enrolled in a plan, there’s no reason to review it. In reality, a Medicare plan review during OEP can be one of the most valuable steps you take all year.
Plans Change — Even If You Don’t
Each year, Medicare Advantage plans may change:
-
Provider networks
-
Drug formularies
-
Copays and coinsurance
-
Benefit structures and limits
What worked last year may not work this year.
A Review Helps You Avoid Costly Mistakes
A proper plan review looks at:
-
Your current doctors and specialists
-
Your medications and pharmacies
-
Your health needs and budget
-
Out-of-pocket exposure
This ensures you’re not paying more than necessary or sacrificing coverage you rely on.
No Obligation — Just Clarity
A Medicare plan review doesn’t mean you have to change plans. Sometimes, confirming that your current plan still fits provides peace of mind.
And if a change is needed, OEP is your chance to act.
