Medicare health and prescription drug coverage plans are updated year-to-year due to changes in elements such as cost, coverage, and pharmacies and providers that are included within networks. Each year from October 15 to December 7, policyholders can modify their selected health insurance plans and prescription drug coverage for the following year to better meet their projected needs. The process for open enrollment differs based on location. Here at Mark Turner Insurance, we can help identify the specifics for Staten Island’s Medicare open enrollment period and help you pick the plan that’s right for you.

As a Medicare health or prescription drug plan policyholder, you should always review the materials sent to you regarding your plan details, such as the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) and Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), since it documents any upcoming changes and how they might impact your plan specifically. If your chosen plan is expected to change, you should make sure it will still meet your requirements for the following year. Should you need updates, we are happy to assist you with the selection process at our office in Staten Island. If your current insurance plan is still being offered and is satisfactory without any modification needed, you will not need to take any action.

Details for next year’s plans will become available starting in October. We are happy to provide you with the updated Medicare insurance plan details specific to Staten Island and help you with the enrollment process to secure the plan that works best for you.
