Medicare Annual Plan Renewal Tips: Securing Your Ideal Coverage

The annual renewal of Medicare plans is a crucial process that allows beneficiaries to review and adjust their coverage for the coming year. During the Open Enrollment Period, October 15 through December 7, you have the opportunity to evaluate your current plan and make necessary changes to ensure it is still appropriate for your health needs. At Avila Medicare Solutions, we're here to provide you with the best tips for annual plan renewals and help you make informed decisions.

1. Review your Current Coverage

The first step in annual plan renewal is to review your current coverage. This includes:

  • Summary of Benefits and Coverage (EOC)Review the document sent to you by your Medicare plan detailing next year's benefits and costs.
  • Notice of Annual Changes (ANOC)This document highlights any changes to your plan, including changes in premiums, deductibles, copayments and drug coverage.

Make sure you understand how these changes may affect your coverage and costs for the coming year.

2. Assess Your Medical Needs

It is important to consider whether your medical needs have changed over the past year. Ask yourself:

  • Have you started taking new medications?
  • Have you been diagnosed with a new health condition?
  • Have you had more doctor visits or medical procedures than before?

Making a list of your medical needs will help you evaluate whether your current plan is still the best option for you.

3. Compare Plan Options

Use online tools, such as the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.govto compare plans available in your area. When comparing options, keep in mind:

  • CostsCompare monthly premiums, deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums.
  • CoverageMake sure the medicines you take regularly and the medical services you need are covered.
  • Supplier NetworkVerify that your preferred doctors and hospitals are in the plan's network.

4. Consider a Medicare Advantage Plan

If you currently have Original Medicare, you may want to consider switching to a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan. These plans often include additional benefits, such as dental, vision and hearing coverage, as well as wellness and fitness programs.

5. Take advantage of Preventive Services
