What Are Important Medicare Dates For 2011 – 2012?

Do you get Medicare benefits? This is the federal health plan for millions of US senior citizens and retired people. If you are on this plan, or help take care of somebody who is on the plan, then you should keep track of some important Medicare dates. You should get notified about these dates, or you can find them on the official website.

Open Enrollment Date Changes

The open enrollment period will not be as long as it has been in the past. This gives you less time to act. However, you should have gotten plenty of notice about this change. One advantage is that an earlier close date will give companies more time to get enrollment cards in the hands of people who need them!

This period mostly affects people with Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription plans.

If you are fairly new to the plan, or if you have not studied it recently,  you should take some time to understand your options. Beneficiaries do have a lot of choices. But there are times when too many choices can be more confusing.

You may want to compare Medicare supplement quotes to see if one plan provides a better value and price level for you. These supplemental plans are standardized, but companies do charge different amounts for coverage.
