October 15 – December 7, By Appointment At the Fearrington Cares Center.
Open Enrollment is a great time to evaluate your Medicare coverage and make sure it’s still the best choice for your needs, since there are big changes coming this year. You can use the Medicare Open Enrollment window to decide if you would like to make changes to your Medicare plan including:
- Enrolling in Medicare Advantage
- Enrolling in a new Medicare Part D plan or comparing plans
- Switching back to original Medicare from Medicare Advantage
The Open Enrollment period will extend from October 15 until December 7, and our SHIIP (Senior Health Insurance Information Program) volunteers are available again by appointment to help you review your plan either in-person or over the phone. Fearrington residents have saved tens of thousands of dollars in previous years through making changes to their plans. Schedule your free 45-minute session to review your plan. Couples should schedule two consecutive sessions, or separate appointments.
