Medicare Open Enrollment

Medicare Open Enrollment is Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2014. This is when ALL people with Medicare can change their Medicare health plan and prescription drug coverage for 2015.

Your health needs change from year to year, and your health plan may change the benefits and costs each year too. That's why it's important to review your Medicare choices each fall, to compare your current plan to new options and see if you can lower some costs or to find a plan that better suit your needs.

If you are satisfied that your current plan will meet your needs for next year, you don't need to do anything. If you think you want to change your current Medicare plan, call the Allegany County Office for the Aging for an appointment to discuss the plans available to you in 2015.

Our available appointments fill up fast, so call us at 585-268-9390 to be sure you get the help you need.

If you are a Medicare recipient, you are receing a lot of advertisements from the health insurers that cover Allegany County. Please remember that you should always be opening mail from your current insurer (to see if your current plan is being changed), Social Security, and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).

If you are new to Medicare, the Office for the Aging offers a free training on Medicare on the second Thursday of every month at 1:30 p.m. at our offices at 6085 State Route 19N, Belmont. Call 585-268- 9390 to reserve a seat at this training.
