On Part C? Don't Forget to Review Your Annual Notice of Change

 

The ANOC is an important document for Medicare beneficiaries to review, as it can help them to determine if their current plan still meets their needs. If there are any changes that could impact the beneficiary's coverage or costs, they may want to consider switching to a different plan during the Medicare Annual Election Period, which runs from October 15 to December 7 each year.

Here are some of the key things to look for in the ANOC:

• Changes to coverage: The ANOC will list any changes to the plan's coverage, such as new or discontinued benefits, changes to the plan's formulary (list of covered prescription drugs), or changes to the plan's prior authorization requirements.
• Changes to costs: The ANOC will list any changes to the plan's monthly premiums, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
• Changes to network providers: The ANOC will list any changes to the plan's network of doctors and hospitals.

If you have any questions about the ANOC, you should contact your Medicare plan directly.

Here are some tips for reviewing your ANOC:

• Compare your current plan to other Medicare plans available in your area. You can use the Medicare Plan Finder tool on the Medicare website to compare plans.
• Talk to your doctor or other healthcare providers about which Medicare plan is right for you.
• Consider your individual needs and budget when choosing a Medicare plan.

By taking the time to review your ANOC, you can make sure that you are enrolled in the Medicare plan that best meets your needs.
