If your Medicare Advantage plan isn\u2019t renewed, your Medicare eligibility doesn\u2019t go away\u2014but you\u2019ll want to make an informed choice about what comes next. Most members either transition to another plan from the same company or return to Original Medicare if a replacement isn\u2019t selected.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know the main enrollment window runs from early to mid-Q4, with any changes taking effect in early Q1. There\u2019s also a special window through mid-Q1. For those moving back to Original Medicare, there\u2019s a protected Medigap window that begins 60 days before your coverage ends and closes no more than 63 days after\u2014this is a valuable opportunity to secure the right supplemental coverage without underwriting.<\/p>\n<p>When weighing your options, don\u2019t just focus on $0 premiums. Take a close look at which doctors and hospitals are covered, prescription formularies, copays, deductibles, and your potential out-of-pocket maximums for the year. Sometimes, what looks like a low-cost option comes with significant trade-offs.<\/p>\n<p>Free, unbiased counseling is available through state assistance programs. Confirming your choices with Medicare or a qualified adviser helps ensure there are no gaps in your coverage. As someone who\u2019s dedicated to protecting your future here in Houston, I know how important it is to make these decisions carefully\u2014peace of mind comes from having the right coverage in place.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big changes are coming for Medicare Advantage in 2027, as one major insurer\u2019s targeted exits will impact around 600,000 members.
