It's Open Enrollment: Now–December 7
Open Enrollment

Find and compare 2025 Medicare health and drug plans now through December 7. Remind people with Medicare to review their plan's “Evidence of Coverage” (EOC) and “Annual Notice of Change” (ANOC) to make sure it still meets their needs for next year. If they’re satisfied with their plan, they don’t need to do anything more.
