Check your mailbox or email for the 2023 Medicare Plan "Annual Notice of Change" that will come directly from your insurance carrier. This notice will go over some of the basic changes to your Medicare Advantage or stand-alone Part D Rx plan such as Deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and premiums.
Here are some insights going into this enrollment period:
Next year is going to bring some significant changes to many Part D plans. Many premiums will be going up significantly on "Enhanced" type of plans or plans that use Walmart as a preferred pharmacy. More "basic" plans with large deductibles that don't utilize Walmart are going to be extremely cheap monthly. So be on the lookout for your notice and if you don't receive anything by October 1st please reach out to us. Remember that these plans can be shopped during the Annual Enrollment Period starting October 15 through December 7th.
Medicare Advantage plans seem to be fairly stable going into next year. The plan benefits for Health and Prescription look good but always remember that the extra/ancillary benefits such as Dental, Vision, Hearing, and Over-the-Counter benefits will go up and down year-to-year. Doctor/Hospital acceptance seems to be strong with most plans and Medicare Advantage continues to offer the best version of prescription coverage under Medicare. Most plan premiums are going to continue to be $0 monthly. For those looking for more coverage under Advantage with less copays to pay, there are plans in both Texas and Arkansas with much higher monthly premiums but almost no medical out of pocket to pay. (These plans work best for those looking for coverage similar to a Medicare Supplement but without the health questions to qualify).
If your plan has no significant changes, you don't have to do anything and your plan will just continue into next year!
We will be emailing out a notice on about October 15 for our newest online shopping portal/link that can be utilized to shop and enroll in a plan during the enrollment period for a January 1st 2024 effective date. This year the link will simply take you to our website which will have posted the most updated shopping tool. As always please call us during the enrollment period and we can walk you through the process if you need assistance.
*Remember that Medicare Supplement plans are not affected by the Annual Enrollment Period. We recommend shopping these anytime between Jan 1st and October 1st every year.
As always, thank you for trusting the Barnette Agency, Inc. with your Medicare Insurance needs!
