Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Impact of Hurricane Helene on Medicare Enrollment
Changes in Medicare Enrollment Season
This year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched significant updates that will enhance seniors' health insurance experience during enrollment season. With the Inflation Reduction Act, many are encouraged to reassess their Medicare Advantage plans promptly.
Why It’s Important to Review Medicare Options
Seniors in the affected areas, especially those following Hurricane Helene, need to ensure they're adequately covered. The Orange County Department on Aging supports seniors in this decision-making process through their Senior Health Insurance Information Program, providing valuable insights and assessments.
Key Considerations for Medicare Enrollment
- Review your current Medicare Part D Plan.
- Consider options to switch to a more suitable Medicare Advantage plan.
- Stay informed about changes due to external factors like hurricanes.
Experts, including Rep. Deborah Ross, urge seniors to take proactive measures to safeguard their health coverage.
