Medicare health and drug plans can make changes each year; costs, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in network. October 15th to December 7th is the time when you can change your Medicare health plans and prescription drug coverage for the following year!
You may qualify for Medicare if:
- You are 65 or Older
- Under 65 but disabled as determined by the Social Security Administration
- Any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD); permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant.
