5 Reasons to Explore a New Medicare Plan

1. My preferred doctor or hospital may no longer accept my plan.

Medicare plan provider networks can change every year. If your doctor or hospital no longer accepts your Medicare plan, you may want to explore other options. Regularly checking whether your preferred healthcare providers are still within your network can save you from unexpected out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, some plans offer broader networks or flexibility.

2. I need to manage my budget.

New plans may offer budget-friendly services, providing financial predictability and helping you budget more effectively. Switching to a plan with lower premiums, deductibles, or copayments can significantly impact your monthly budget. Some Medicare Advantage plans may also include additional services like gym memberships, dental, and vision care.

3. I want more benefits.

New Medicare Advantage plans are available with more benefits! Even if you’re happy with your current plan, it’s worthwhile to see if you could be getting additional benefits through another Medicare Advantage plan. Consider what additional services could enhance your quality of life.

4. My out-of-pocket costs are increasing.
