Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs October 15 to December 7, 2024. And since Medicare plans change each year, you need to make sure a licensed health insurance agent reviews your coverage for 2025. Choosing a Medicare Advantage health plan can help reduce out-of-pocket costs while providing coverage for dental, hearing and other vital services. This includes the new Part D benefits and annual cap of $2,000 for out-of-pocket prescription drug costs.
