Every year there is a risk of a Medicare or Health Insurance Plan leaving the area. We review and update plan<\/a>s every year. It is one of the reasons that Suzie and Matt<\/a> go through training every year with Insurance Companies and the Healthplanfinder. Wenatchee Insurance is an independent insurance agency and we contract with different companies to be able to offer options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicare Advantage is my Insurance Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have options to make a change. The first week of October, you will receive the Medicare Annual Notification of Change (ANOC) Letter. Read the letter as it will inform you of price increases and policy changes. If you do not receive a letter then call during those first two weeks of October. Yes, we had a bunch of people ignore their letters one year only to have their Medicare Drug plan drastically increase cost have to wait until the following Annual Enrollment Period to make a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is October 15th through December 7th. This is the time period to make changes to Medicare Advantage and Medicare Drug Plans. Yes, we have had people move from a Medigap to an Advantage Plan and this is the time of year to do that. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period<\/a> is January 1st – March 31st. You are allowed to make one change to a Medicare Advantage Plan during this time frame. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. When your plan is leaving then you get a Special Enrollment Period. (Keep a copy of your ANOC Letter)\n
