Checking Medicare Plan options for 2021 before open enrollment

Open Enrollment begins this October 15th. Before that date, you can preview all 2021 plans available in your area.

Plan Premiums can variate and the lowest premium does not always provide the lowest total cost

As expressed by Medicare.gov, Plan premiums dropped on average of 34% over the last 3 years, and in some stats to as much as 60%. For those of you interested in getting coverage for insulin, many participating drug plans will offer 30-day supply of insulin for 35 dollars or less in 2021.

You can review all plan options, but enrollment starts October 15th

Keep in mind, that after reviewing all the plan options, you can enroll by October 15th, 2020 for the plan to be effective for 1/1/2021. When checking and comparing different plans, look at the estimated “Yearly Drug & Premium Cost.” A plan with the lowest premium may not always provide the lowest total cost to you.

There are different ways you can enroll, and the last day to enroll is December 7th, 2020

Also, when you are ready to enroll in the plan of your choice, or need assistance, you can schedule an appointment

  • Over the phone
  • Enroll online
  • Find a local broker or agent, or ask to set up a home appointment ( if permissible).
