Staying physically active, having regular vision checks, reviewing medications with your healthcare provider, and reducing your risk of falls can help you stay safe both on your feet and behind the wheel.

Some of the same factors that increase the risk of falls—such as changes in vision, certain medications, reduced strength, and balance problems—can also affect driving safety. In fact, older adults with a history of falls have a higher risk of being involved in a motor vehicle crash.

If you're driving the grandkids to and from school this year, talk to your healthcare provider about ways to stay safe behind the wheel. Take your time, stay alert, and help keep everyone safe.

Fall Open Enrollment is just around the corner. By September 30, Medicare Advantage and Part D plans should send members an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and an Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

These documents explain important changes to costs, provider networks, and prescription drug coverage for the upcoming plan year. Understanding these notices can help people with Medicare make informed coverage decisions during Open Enrollment.
