Why the Fall Enrollment Period is Important<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for Medicare runs from October 15 to December 7<\/a><\/strong>, while health insurance marketplace open enrollment typically starts around November 1 and ends mid-January (for Washington State)<\/strong>. This window is your chance to make changes that could save you money, improve your coverage, or protect you from unexpected healthcare surprises down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the catch: if you snooze, you lose. Once the period closes, you may be stuck with your current plan for the entire year\u2014unless you qualify for a special enrollment period. So, grab that calendar and select an appointment today.
