Annual Medicare Open Enrollment: Resources for Your Patients
The annual Medicare Open Enrollment period began last week on October 15, 2024, and ends December 7, 2024—with coverage changes taking effect January 1, 2025.
During this time, people with Medicare can compare coverage options, like Traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, choose health and drug plans for 2025, and learn about extra help available to those with limited income and resources to pay for Medicare drug coverage.
Many Medicare patients ask their doctor about enrollment. CMS and the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) have developed a number of tools and resources that you can provide your patients.
