Open Enrollment Has Ended: What's Next?
Open Enrollment

*Remind people with Medicare of the following:*


* If changes were made during the Medicare Open Enrollment Period, new plan materials will arrive in the mail soon.
* If plan costs or benefits for existing coverage have changed, those changes will be effective on January 1, 2025.
* If a service or prescription is needed after the New Year and they haven’t gotten plan membership materials yet, take the following items to the pharmacy:
* Red, white, and blue Medicare card
* Photo ID
* Acknowledgement or confirmation letter, or an enrollment confirmation number from the plan
* Medicaid card or letter showing eligibility for Extra Help

* If enrollment can’t be confirmed at the pharmacy, paying out of pocket for drugs and working with the plan for reimbursement is an option.
