Prepare for Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period with Kent A. Bennett & Associates
Annual Enrollment runs from October 15 to December 7. Before reviewing options, gather your Medicare card, a list of current prescriptions, and any medical bills or statements from the past year. This information helps you spot what’s working—and what needs improvement.
Review Your Current Medicare Coverage
Look over your current plan’s benefits. Note what it covers, what it doesn’t, and what it cost you. Make a list of frustrations or surprises from the past year. Did your costs increase? Did your provider leave the network? Use this insight as your starting point for evaluating other plans.
Make a List of Medical and Prescription Needs
Think about any health conditions you’ve developed, ongoing treatments, or prescriptions you now take. Write down the names, dosages, and how often you refill medications. Also note your preferred pharmacy and doctors. These details help you choose a plan that actually fits your needs.
Compare Plan Options Carefully
Use your checklist to compare premiums, deductibles, copays, drug formularies, and provider networks. Don’t just focus on price—look at what services are covered and what restrictions apply. Kent A. Bennett & Associates helps you compare your choices side by side for clarity and peace of mind.
Confirm and Submit Your Enrollment
Once you’ve chosen a plan, review your information one last time. Submit your changes before December 7 to avoid coverage gaps. Save any confirmation materials, and mark your calendar to review again next year.
