Medicare Beneficiaries: Review Plans Early for 2026 Coverage
Medicare beneficiaries are advised to review their plans early, as changes in premiums, formularies, or provider networks could impact their coverage next year. The new plan information was released on October 1st, with the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) set from October 15 to December 7.
Starting a two-week early comparison of plans on October 1st allows beneficiaries to identify the best coverage options suited to their needs. This can potentially save costs and avoid coverage gaps by making informed decisions ahead of time. It also helps with understanding the differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and prescription drug plans (Part D) to better manage healthcare and expenses.
If you want to keep your current Medicare plan, no action is needed. However, reviewing plan changes is still advisable. A Medicare review from a Medicare Advisor can help determine next steps for Medicare plans. Our organization's Medicare Advisory Service offers complimentary help with Medicare plans.
The 2026 Medicare plan information is now public. Beneficiaries are encouraged to review their plans early, starting from October 1st, to ensure they have the best coverage for their needs. Changes can be made during the Annual Enrollment Period from October 15 to December 7.
