Medicare Open Enrollment Oct 15 to Dec 7

David Johnson, Medicare supplement and Long Term Care specialist with Lehman Wood Johnson, Inc., reminds us the Medicare open enrollment period is from October 15 through December 7.  Any changes made during open enrollment are effective as of January 1, 2013.  This is the time during which people with Medicare can make new choices and pick plans that work best for them. Each year Medicare plans typically change what they cost and cover. In addition, your health-care needs may have changed over the past year. The open enrollment period is your opportunity to switch Medicare health and prescription drug plans to better suit your needs.
