Medicare Open Enrollment with Tricia Witts from PrimeTime Health Plan

Health Matters with The Medicine Center Pharmacy

If you are 65 years old or older, you have been receiving lots of calls, letters, and emails regarding the Medicare Open Enrollment period from October 15 through December 7. What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period. That can be scary and leave opportunities to discover unwelcome or unwanted changes in coverage when they visit a doctor, pharmacy, or other provider in the new plan year.

Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare.

This morning we are fortunate to talk with Trisha Witts from our local five star advantage plan, PrimeTime Health Plan. PrimeTime is locally owned and when you call, you will be talking to a neighbor or friend to help you understand your Medicare benefits and options.
