Should I review Medicare coverage even when I like my current plan?
Answered by 7 licensed agents
HOWEVER, just keep two quick things in mind each fall:
- Check your ANOC: Your carrier sends an Annual Notice of Change every September detailing any price or benefit updates. If a plan is terminating, they are required by law to let you know.
- Check your medications: Drug formularies change every year. Even if your plan stays the same, the tier or cost of your specific medications could shift.
Taking five minutes to review your drug list and ANOC packet ensures complete peace of mind and zero surprises on January 1st or to see if there is a better plan fit for you.

Insurance companies change their plans annually, and what works great for you this year might look very different next year.

Plans can change their premiums, copayments, drug formularies, pharmacy arrangements, provider networks and extra benefits. Your own doctors, prescriptions and healthcare needs may also change.
