It's that time of year again! The 2027 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) began October 15 and runs through December 7. AEP is the annual period that allows eligible Medicare beneficiaries to make changes to their Medicare plan. Medicare is a federal health insurance plan for people ages 65 and up, or those with certain qualifying conditions or disabilities.
Whether you're turning 65, transitioning from a commercial non-retirement plan, or are already on a Medicare plan, we know you have a lot to consider when it comes to deciding on a healthcare insurance plan. Now is the time to review your current insurance coverage and make sure it still meets your health and financial needs. As those needs change, it's important to understand and compare the options available, so you can make an informed decision that's best for your situation.
