Medicare Annual Enrollment Period – Items we feel are important

Don’t let the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7th) pass by without understanding next years changes to both your current plan and your other plan choices.  Why? 

Because this is your opportunity to get better coverage at a lower cost.

If you are dissatisfied with your 2021 Medicare Advantage plan, read this…

Medicare opened up a new opportunity for people enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan to change plans again. This can be done on January 1 through March 31.

This new enrollment period is called the ‘Open Enrollment Period’. Learn more about this here.

Insight into the 2022 Medicare Advantage plans and why it makes sense for you to review your options

This page will be updated the 1st week in October to reflect the changes in 2022 Idaho Medicare Advantage plans.

In 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 we have seen some Idaho Medicare Advantage plans add noticeably better value. We expect this to continue in 2022.

Why? Because the number of people on Medicare in Idaho is growing at a much quicker rate than prior to 2018. More Medicare eligible people are simply moving into Idaho and this has caught the attention of insurance companies. You can confirm this growth by looking at the last 3-years enrollment reports by state. These are available here.

Insurance companies are competing with each other to get your and my Medicare Advantage business.

Why are they doing this?

Because companies get a monthly stipend from the Federal Government for each person enrolled in one of their plans. The more people enrolled in their plan(s), the more money they get each month. How do insurance companies get people to switch plan(s)? Offer better value than the other companies offering competing plans.

This is real and is happening. The people that are paying attention to this are switching plans and getting better value.

Learn more about your 2022 options by revisiting this page in October.
