🩺 Medicare Open Enrollment Is Coming!

October 15 – December 7

Medicare plans can change from year to year—and so can your healthcare needs. Even if you’re happy with your current plan, open enrollment is a great time to give your Medicare coverage a check-up!

The East Alabama Area Agency on Aging can provide free, unbiased Medicare assistance to help you:

✅ Review your current Medicare plan
✅ Compare available coverage options
✅ Check for changes in premiums, costs, benefits, and coverage
✅ Make sure your medications are still covered
✅ See if another plan may better meet your needs
✅ Get answers to your Medicare questions

You don’t have to navigate Medicare alone. Our trained counselors can help you review your options so you can make an informed decision about your coverage for the year ahead.

📞 Call to schedule your Medicare Check-Up!
