Medicare’s annual open enrollment ends December 7th. State insurance program director Sandy Leith says it’s a good time for residents to review their coverage.
"If you do nothing, and your plan is still going to be there in 2017, then you'll wake up January 1 in the same plan and that's fine. We just want to make sure everybody does a check-up annually to make sure that their Medicare health plans and drug plans work best for them."
Leith says the state's Department On Aging offers guidance on choosing a plan. You can find details on their website. You can also compare plans at medicare.gov.
