MediCare’s AEP starts October 1st. Some info!



MediCare sets the rules for what is called the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), It is not the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) which does not start until January. Some points on the rules:  
    ● This year the AEP runs from October 1, 2018, to December 7, 2018.
    ● Individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan or a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan have an opportunity during the AEP to change options within their current company or to select a new plan from another company.
    ● Companies have to send information to everyone enrolled in one of their plans on by October 1st. The notice is called an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). 
    ● Companies are allowed to make information about their 2019 coverage options and monthly cost available starting October 1st.
    ● Want to make a change or enroll with a new company?  Change or new plan enrollments cannot be submitted until Oct 15th.
