Encourage Your Clients to Review Medicare Options During Open Enrollment
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Medicare's Open Enrollment period is currently underway and will close on December 7. During this time, your clients can review and compare their Medicare options, including:
- Switch between Original Medicare and a Medicare Advantage Plan
- Change to another Medicare Advantage Plan
- Join or change Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans
Any changes made during the Open Enrollment period take effect on January 1, 2026.
With a personal my Social Security account, your clients can complete many Medicare-related tasks online, such as:
- Apply for Medicare Part A and/or Part B
- Check the status of their Medicare application and coverage start date
- View and print proof of Medicare coverage
- Update their address and contact information
Your clients should ensure their current plan continues to meet their needs for the following year since Medicare health and prescription drug plans can change. If your clients are satisfied with their current health care coverage, they do not need to take any action.
For more information or to compare plans, please encourage your clients to visit Medicare.gov or call
Please share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
Nick Perrine
Chief Communications Officer
