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.
Be ready for the Medicare Open Enrollment Period! Call SHIP to find a site near you! (800) 452-4800 or go to Medicare.in.gov!

If you have Medicare drug coverage, and live in an area that's been declared an emergency or disaster, contact your plan for help:
Finding an in-network pharmacy nearby. An in-network pharmacy is a pharmacy that agrees to provide members of certain Medicare plans with services and supplies at a discounted price. In some Medicare plans, your prescriptions are only covered if you get them filled at in-network pharmacies.
Replacing lost or damaged drugs or replacing a drug you couldn’t take with you when you evacuated.
Getting drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy when you can't reasonably get to an in-network pharmacy.
