Don’t Let Medicare Intimidate You: How to Master Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment comes around faithfully every year. Individuals enroll in workplace benefits such as health, dental, vision and life insurance.
For the growing number of people approaching or working beyond age 65, there is another Open Enrollment that takes place October 15 through December 7 – the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period or AEP.
Before and during the AEP, those eligible for Medicare become the target of mail, emails, phone calls and television advertisements, all of which are trying to sell you a Medicare plan.
Rather than helping you understand your Medicare rights, these ads and solicitations can be confusing and complicate an already-challenging subject.
Instead, you need answers to questions such as:
- Am I required to enroll in Medicare at age 65?
- Will I pay a penalty for delaying enrollment in Medicare?
- Would it be better to keep my health insurance at work or enroll in Medicare?
- What is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans?
- Who should I call for personal assistance?
UROne Benefits can help make sense of it all through one-on-one consultations designed to identify and meet your coverage needs.
